LINCROFT, NJ – In collaboration with Middlesex and
Ocean Counties, the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the
Workforce Development Board have announced the first-ever Central Jersey “Drive Thru
Job Fair” from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 15 at Brookdale
Community College, 765 Newman Spring Road.
The Workforce Development Board is currently seeking
employers to register for the event. There is no cost to participate for both
employers and jobseekers.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, participating
employers do not attend in-person. No employers will have tables or be onsite
for this job fair. Employers must submit 750 copies of a one-page flyer listing
job opportunities to Monmouth County Workforce Development, 17 Christopher Way,
Eatontown, by 3:30 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 5.
“Since mid-March of this year, more than 93,000 residents
have filed for unemployment in Monmouth County alone due to the health
pandemic,” said Freeholder Patrick Impreveduto, liaison to the Monmouth County
Workforce Development Board. “The Central Jersey Drive Thru Job Fair is an
innovative opportunity for employers in the region to safely seek out potential
candidates to fill vacant positions. The Workforce Development Board will
organize all of the job opportunities provided by the employers and create a
uniform packet to be distributed to jobseekers at the Drive Thru Job Fair.”
Employers interested in participating for the Drive
Thru Job Fair can register here.
