LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Two job fairs are coming to Lake County.

They will be held Friday, Feb. 21, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Mendocino College Lake Center, 2565 Parallel Dr., Lakeport, and Friday, March 7, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Yuba College Clear Lake Campus, 15880 Dam Road Extension, Clearlake.  

Lake County and Clear Lake Chambers, EDD, Goodwill Industries, Department of Rehabilitation, California Human Development, Lake County Office of Education along with Mendocino College and Yuba College are working with MPIC and the partners of WorkforceLake to host and promote job fairs that will connect local businesses and job seekers.  

Lake County is currently experiencing a rise in employment opportunities in a variety of occupations and skill levels.  This is good news for the many job seekers who have been experiencing long term unemployment and the recent loss of unemployment extension benefits.  

This is a great opportunity to connect with businesses that have openings and are hiring now.

Job seekers are encouraged to dress for success and be ready to meet with employers to learn about positions that they are looking to fill.  

WorkforceLake offer many workshops that assist those wanting to prepare for their job search including as resume labs, interviewing skills, networking and other important skills needed to achieve a successful outcome from attending one of these job fairs.

Job seekers should call WorkforceLake at 707-263-0630 or visit WorkforceLake, a proud partner of America’s Job Centers of California located at 55 First St., Lakeport or 14092 Lakeshore Drive, Clearlake to learn more about these events.

A suggested donation of $30/employer is requested to help offset the overhead for the job fair if they participate in only one. Employers who wish to participate in both fairs can do so for $50.

Employers wishing to participate and connect with job seekers should contact Shannon Harris, MPIC Business Services Representative at 707-262-3470 for more information and to reserve a booth at one or both events.
