Careers United Job & Resource Fair
In June 2022, Careers United held its first job and resource fair! During the event, job seekers met with hiring personnel from 24 employers, including Xcel Energy, TIAA, PCL Construction, Southwest Airlines, and Goodwill of Colorado. Twelve people received job offers, including three Bridging the Gap participants.
“The job fair made it possible for Bridging the Gap participants to go through the entire job-seeking and hiring process in one day, under one roof.”
