Job Fair And Recruiting Event Information

Community Job Fairs

These in-person events allow job seekers to directly engage with a large group of participating employers to talk about available openings, discuss the application process, and submit their resumes to recruiters and hiring managers.

Community Job Fairs are midsize events hosted RochesterWorks, often with a partner town, community organization or neighborhood, and include regular events at the Monroe Community College (MCC) Downtown Campus.

If you’d like to receive notices about Calls for Businesses to participate in these events, email bizservices@rochesterworks.org or call 585-258-3500 ext. 2000.

Recruiting Events At The Career Center

We offer small-scale events, called “Recruiting Round Rochester” featuring one to two employers at a time, hosted on site at the Career Center. Employers can schedule a day to come into our College Avenue Career Center to meet job seekers by contacting the Business Services team.
