The City of Culver City Economic Recovery Task Force is working with JVS SoCal to facilitate a free virtual job fair on October 16, 2020 from 10 AM – 12 PM. The event will be produced as part of the City’s economic recovery efforts in collaboration with the Chamber of Commerce, numerous non-profits, and the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation. The event will be produced as part of the City’s economic recovery efforts and is open to anyone seeking employment or training as well as businesses seeking to hire in the near- and mid-term for internships, seasonal, temporary and full-time positions. Individuals interested in participating may visit Culver City's Economic Recovery Task Force website to view event details and register for the free virtual job fair.
“We are excited to partner with JVS SoCal to provide this important employment opportunity,” notes Culver City Mayor Göran Eriksson. As we adjust to a 'new normal,' it is critical that we continue our focus on the health and safety of our community, while also supporting our businesses and local workforce, to ensure our residents' and Culver City’s long term economic recovery."

As the operator of the West Los Angeles America’s Job Center of California (AJCC), JVS SoCal is a free local resource to assist individuals who wish to go back to work, whether they have been laid off, furloughed, or are looking for a career change.
The first event will be focused primarily on entry - mid level positions and will feature opportunities with several different companies offering competitive wages between $15 - $20 per hour.
