Construction and Trades Job Fair, October 1st

Are you interested in a career in construction or trades? Fairfax County Employment Services and Northern Virginia Construction Careers Coalition (NV3C) will host a Construction and Trades Job Fair on October 1st at the Fairfax County Pennino Building to meet with employers who have openings ranging from entry-level laborer up to project manager!

To ensure a smooth experience, the event will operate with staggered entry, offering three designated time slots at 10:00 AM, 11:00 AM, and 12:00 PM. Each timeslot will run for one hour, allowing attendees to engage with hiring representatives in a structured and manageable setting. We encourage attendees to sign up for the 11:00 AM or 12:00 PM timeslot to spread out the flow of candidates. Registration is highly encouraged to secure your preferred time slot and make the most of the event.
