Follow on Google News | Announcing the 2nd Annual Lehigh Acres Career FairUniting multiple employers to address local employment needs
By: Goodwill Industries of Southwest Florida The rising unemployment rate means that it's getting more competitive for job seekers to get hired. Coming out of the pandemic, job seekers have been calling the shots as employers struggled to fill millions of openings to meet the demand. But, that has slowed. Add the population increase in Lehigh Acres, which has been higher than the overall population growth in Lee County, and area job seekers are struggling to find opportunity. Lehigh residents are not seeing the number of businesses and job opportunities keeping up to accommodate the growth. This job fair expands opportunity for local job seekers, bringing multiple employers actively looking to fill positions to the Lehigh Community. Last year, the event brought in 319 jobseekers. The expected attendance this year, is even more. All Lehigh Acres and Lee County residents are welcome to attend this free event. Anyone needing resume assistance before the event can get help at the Lehigh Goodwill Community Resource Center located at 2825 Lee Blvd. Call 239-369-4774 to make an appointment. Goodwill Industries of Southwest Florida is committed to serving people with disabilities and disadvantages by offering life-changing opportunities to achieve independence.
