HONOLULU - The Hawai‘i State Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DLIR) and American Job Center announced a joint, in-person job fair on September 17, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Ke?ehi Lagoon Memorial. Veterans are invited for a priority hour from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., followed by general public hours from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“As Hawai‘i continues to face a labor shortage, job fairs like this are crucial in helping residents find employment while addressing the needs of our local economy,” said DLIR Director Jade T. Butay. “This event provides a valuable opportunity for job seekers to connect with employers from a variety of industries.”

Employers from the federal, state and private sectors will be present, offering job seekers an opportunity to speak with employers, many of whom will be conducting on-the-spot hiring. Attendees are encouraged to arrive professionally dressed, with updated copies of their resumes.

These services are fully funded by U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration grants, totaling $266,000 for O‘ahu.
