Description
Take advantage of opportunities this summer to start a new career. On Saturday, August 22 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the City of Los Angeles’ Human Services Department (http://www.lacity.org/csw/), the office of the Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa (http://mayor.lacity.org/), City Council President Eric Garcetti's Council District 13 (http://cd13.lacity.org/) and the L.A. Derby Dolls (http://derbydolls.com/la/) will host a free job fair for women at the home of the Derby Dolls – the Doll Factory (1910 Temple St., 90026).

The free community fair will include job placement assistance, opportunities for green jobs and unexplored avenues for women (such as local trade unions), as well as career training for positions in which employers are currently seeking candidates.

In addition, as part of the Economic Stimulus Package, the City of Los Angeles has received funds for improvement of infrastructure to the city. This has created numerous job opportunities within the city of Los Angeles. The goal of the Free Women’s Job Fair is to help interested women get connected, trained and ready for these jobs.

For any women currently unemployed or looking for a new career, join these community organizations on August 22nd at the Doll Factory for workshops and to meet employers, recruiters and trainers that want to see the women of Los Angeles succeed.

This event is free and all women are encouraged to attend. If you wish to attend the workshops, please RSVP by emailing hsd.fair@lacity.org or call 213.970.0300 by August 17th.
Free light breakfast and lunch will be served.
