Jubilee Homes is set to host the Syracuse Opportunities Fair on April 10, 2024, at the OnCenter in downtown Syracuse, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This event aims to connect job seekers, small business owners, and community members with local employers, service providers, and networking opportunities. Whether you are a recent graduate, a professional looking for new opportunities, or an entrepreneur seeking connections, the event promises to be a valuable resource.

What to Expect

The Syracuse Opportunities Fair will feature nearly 100 employers representing various industries, all actively seeking to hire. Attendees will have the chance to network with professionals, explore job openings, and learn about community resources that can support career advancement and business development.

According to Madea Holman, Build to Work Program Manager at Jubilee Homes, the fair is designed to support individuals at all career stages:

“We are using this event to promote local businesses, organizations, as well as small businesses. We are expecting a large crowd and hopefully close to a hundred employers.”

Beyond job opportunities, the fair will also include interactive demonstrations and informational sessions. For example, professionals in trades, such as barbers, will be able to showcase their skills, and organizations like the Greater Syracuse Land Bank and more will be present to provide information on homeownership opportunities.

More Than Just a Job Fair

The Syracuse Opportunities Fair is more than just a traditional career event. It integrates employment opportunities with community resources, making it a one-stop-shop for those looking to enhance their careers and personal growth.

“We’re using this event to promote opportunities for small businesses and skilled trades. For example, if someone does haircutting, they can come and do a haircutting demonstration. The Land Bank will be there to provide information on how to purchase a home through their program.” – Madea Holman
