The KansasWorks Virtual Job Fair takes place from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 19. The virtual fair will focus on all state agency job openings.
“KansasWorks is hard at work every day connecting Kansans with employers looking to hire, and I’m pleased they are focusing on opportunities with state agencies,” Gov. Laura Kelly said. “This job fair provides Kansans the opportunity to work in meaningful and good-paying jobs with great benefits, allowing them to provide a prosperous future for their families.”
The state’s 98 government agencies have approximately 900 full-time, part-time and internship opportunities available across the state. Kansas has conducted 17 virtual job fairs since the beginning of 2020, showcasing jobs from hundreds of employers across the state. More than 1,500 people have participated in the state’s job fair events this year.
“Recruiting top talent to state agencies is a high priority for the Kelly Administration,” Lt. Gov. and Commerce Secretary David Toland said. “We need dynamic and visionary individuals to join our team and help provide critical services to Kansans across the state.”
The online job fairs allow those looking for work to fill out applications, chat live and interview virtually with participating agencies. To participate in the virtual job fair, regardless of previous participation, registration is required.
