WorkAble, a partnership of the Career Development Center of Jewish Family & Children’s Service, North Hills Community Outreach (NHCO) and South Hills Interfaith Ministry (SHIM), and funded by the United Way of Allegheny County, will hold a career fair for adults throughout the region on Wednesday, October 23, from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. at NHCO’s Millvale site, located at 416 Lincoln Rd., Pittsburgh, 15209.
The upcoming career fair will include employers from FedEx Ground, Giant Eagle, PNC, Rivers Casino, the University of Pittsburgh, UPMC and others. These employers are seeking to fill a wide variety of entry to senior level full and part-time openings, including positions in administration, retail management, human resources, finance and healthcare fields, as well as others. Individuals wishing to attend are encouraged to bring copies of a resume and research employers beforehand. Attendees must register in advance by calling 412-487-6316, extension 3216. Additionally, an orientation about WorkAble will be held during the career fair to help individuals learn about the employment services offered by WorkAble’s partner organizations.
Launched in the fall of 2012 and supported by the United Way of Allegheny County, WorkAble is a county-wide employment service for adults, and serves individuals throughout Allegheny County at NHCO sites in Allison Park and Millvale, SHIM offices in Bethel Park and JF&CS offices in Squirrel Hill. It is unique in that the program serves both jobseekers ready to meet the challenges of a job search and employers looking for talent.
Through this collaboration, and the funding of the United Way, each agency’s individual strengths are leveraged and maximized to ensure a convenient, consistent, high-quality approach to employment and services to help struggling individuals. JF&CS’s Career Development Center counselors work onsite at NHCO and SHIM locations to provide resume and cover letter help, teach interviewing, job search and computer skills and offer support and encouragement to job seekers.
