For over two years, COVID-19 has impacted our local economy, causing both job losses for workers and hiring challenges for many businesses. To help address these hardships, the Town of West Hartford and the West Hartford Chamber of Commerce will hold a Community Job & Resource Fair on Wednesday, May 25 from 4 to 8 p.m. at Elmwood Community Center, 1106 New Britain Avenue.

“Our first Community Job & Resource Fair held in September was a big success for both employers and job seekers,” said Kristen Gorski, Economic Development coordinator for the Town of West Hartford “Businesses were thrilled to find the right match for their job openings.”
Participating businesses included banking, manufacturing, food service, retail, and health care. All industries are encouraged to participate as we expect a diverse set of job seekers to attend.
