Booth space is available for employers for the Kansas City Kansas Community College 2017 “Get Hired – Kansas City” Job Fair.

The event is from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, April 26, in the KCKCC Field House, 7250 State Ave.

The job fair is free and open to the public, and about 1,000 individuals attended last year. Special accommodations for veterans and disabled will be from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.

Last year, a large number of those who were interviewed at the job fair were hired on the spot.

“We take pride in our services to our growing population of military and disabled students,” said Alicia Hooks, executive director of entrepreneurship and workforce center at KCKCC. “We are considered the largest job fair in the Kansas City metropolitan area.”

The job fair is sponsored by the Entrepreneurship and Workforce Center at KCKCC. To register online, the website link is www.gethiredkansascity.eventbrite.com. Early bird pricing is available until April 1. Regular pricing on all booth space ends April 15.
