Job Fair in West Baltimore Offers Hundreds of Jobs Across Maryland

The Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services hosted a job fair at the Calvin Rodwell Elementary/Middle School on Liberty Heights Avenue in West Baltimore on July 21. The event offered approximately 1,000 positions across the state, including healthcare, maintenance, and security jobs.

The job fair was open to the public and attracted many job seekers, many of whom have been struggling to find work in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The event provided an opportunity for attendees to meet with employers and learn about job openings, as well as to network with other job seekers.

“We’re excited to offer so many job opportunities to people in the community,” said a Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services spokesperson. “We know that this has been a difficult time for many people, and we’re committed to doing everything we can to help people find work.”

The job fair was just one of many events being held across Maryland to address the state’s ongoing labor shortage. Many employers have reported difficulty finding workers, particularly in the hospitality and service industries.

“We’re seeing a lot of demand for workers in certain industries, but a lot of people are still hesitant to return to work due to health concerns or other factors,” said a Maryland Department of Labor spokesperson. “We’re working with employers and job seekers to try to bridge that gap and get people back to work.”

Job Seekers Encouraged to Take Advantage of Maryland State Jobs Website

In addition to job fairs and other events, the state of Maryland has launched a new website to help job seekers find employment opportunities. The Maryland State Jobs website features job postings from a wide range of employers across the state and resources for job seekers such as resume-building tools and career counseling.

“We’re excited to offer this new resource to job seekers in Maryland,” said a Maryland Department of Labor spokesperson. “We know that finding a job can be daunting, and we’re committed to making it as easy as possible for people to find the right job for them.”

The website is updated regularly with new job postings, and job seekers are encouraged to check back frequently for new opportunities. The site also allows job seekers to create a profile and receive email alerts when new jobs that match their qualifications become available.

As Maryland grapples with a labor shortage, job fairs and online resources like the Maryland State Jobs website are essential tools for job seekers seeking employment opportunities. The state is also working with employers to offer training and other incentives to help attract workers.

“We know that there are a lot of people out there who are looking for work, and we want to make sure that they have the support they need to find good jobs,” said a Maryland Department of Labor spokesperson. “We’re working with employers to offer training programs and other incentives to help attract workers, and we’re committed to doing everything we can to help people get back to work.”

As the state of Maryland continues to recover from the economic impact of the pandemic, job seekers are encouraged to take advantage of the resources available, including job fairs, online job boards, and training programs. With the right support and resources, job seekers can find meaningful employment and help to drive the state’s economic recovery.
