CHARLESTON — WorkForce West Virginia will hold its next Statewide Virtual Job Fair for Feb. 4.

The virtual event, available to job seekers and employers, will be offered from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

“We invite you to unlock your potential at WorkForce West Virginia’s Statewide Virtual Job Fairs,” said Scott Adkins, acting commissioner of WorkForce West Virginia. “Employers and job seekers are encouraged to seize this opportunity to connect and grow together. Since these Statewide Virtual Job Fairs began three years ago, there have been 33,704 registered job seekers, 4,828 registered employers and 17,999 available job openings.”

Adkins noted the virtual job fair held earlier this month included 1,077 registered job seekers, 106 employers and 614 available job openings.

Registration is required for interested employers and job seekers, with information on procedures and requirements available online through workforcewv.org or by emailing wfwvvjf@wv.gov.

When attending the event, job seekers are encouraged to dress professionally and have a calm, clutter-free background. 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.

After registering for the first time, new employers will create a “virtual booth” to connect with job seekers. After completion, this booth will be available during subsequent job fairs.
