WHY SHOULD I ATTEND?
As the $300 monthly federal unemployment benefit expires on June 26 in Texas, now is the time to find employment. Last year alone, WSTC helped more than 20,144 job seekers find employment! At the WSTC job fair, 130 employers are seeking to hire 4,230 people. Those who sign up can apply for jobs and chat live with potential employers.
In addition to the opportunity to speak to employers at the job fair, WSTC offers many services to prepare you for the job search including interview training, communication skills, resume building and Microsoft Office and LinkedIn training. In addition, WSTC is offering adult education classes for literacy and math skills. Scholarships are also available to provide childcare for low-income residents to help the training and education needs of veterans, foster youth, ex-offenders and homeless individuals.
