CHARLESTON, W.Va. — WorkForce West Virginia announces the next date in a series of Statewide Virtual Job Fairs. Both employers and job seekers are invited to participate in the virtual event on Wednesday, Feb. 1 from 12:00 – 3:00 pm.

“Registration is open and ongoing for the February Statewide Virtual Job Fair and we continue to encourage West Virginia job seekers and employers to take advantage of this free, online platform to connect and fill these positions across our great state,” said Scott Adkins, Acting Commissioner of WorkForce West Virginia. “Whether you’re looking for a new job or searching for a career change, or looking to add to your workforce, we invite you to register today!”

Virtual job fairs allow job seekers to apply, live chat, video chat and interview virtually with employers participating in the event.

The Virtual Statewide Job Fair portal features a Job Seeker Training video, a list of participating employers, and channels for attendees to register and log in.
