Job seekers will utilize Workforce Solutions’ virtual platform to search and apply for open positions. When attendees click on a company’s name, the interactive platform will make it appear as if the applicant is walking into the lobby of the company’s building. Once inside the company’s virtual lobby, job seekers will be able to access information about the company, browse job openings, and send messages to chat with hiring managers. While company representatives will be online until 5:00 p.m., the event platform will be open until midnight to accept applications.

Companies looking to participate in the Job Fair can purchase booths at www.Conroe.org or by calling 936-756-6644. Businesses can customize virtual lobbies to fit their personality. Sponsorships are available by contacting the CEDC or Conroe/Lake Conroe Chamber.
