Workforce Solutions of South Texas está invitando a la comunidad a participar en la Feria de empleo de recursos y jóvenes de verano para personas de 16 a 18 años el miércoles en 1406 Jacaman Road, Suite A, de 5 a 7 p. m.
Graciela Pérez, líder de servicios de empleo en Workforce Solutions para el sur de Texas, dijo que esta feria está enfocada solo en los jóvenes para que puedan comenzar a adquirir habilidades y ayudarlos a conectarse con oportunidades de empleo.
“Many parents have question us on where to refer their teenagers, and we are here to help them,” she said. “That is why WSST is hosting an one-stop job fair where job seekers will be able to speak with the employers, complete the application, create a resume and get tips on how to speak during an interview.”
Pérez dijo que el verano pasado, WSST organizó varias ferias de trabajo "Lock-In Evening" para jóvenes con una respuesta positiva de la comunidad y los empleadores.
“WSST received great feedback from the community and was glad we were able to host job fairs for the youth,” she said. “During the three Lock-In Evening celebrated in 2022, we offered 90 job openings — more than 50 youth participated and at least 15 of them found employment through those events.”
Pérez agregó que durante esas ferias de trabajo, WSST organizó varios talleres para ayudar a los solicitantes de empleo a tener éxito en las entrevistas.
“WSST also hosted a workshop where the job seekers were able to gain information on how to speak during an interview, how to create a resume and on how to dress for an interview,” she said. “The response from the public was great. Many parents were calling inquiring information and were requesting more youth job fairs.”
Pérez dijo que durante la Feria de Empleo de Verano para Jóvenes y Recursos de 2023 participarán 10 empresas como: Starbucks, Dollar Tree, Go Carwash, Papa Johns, Burger King y más.
“The most requested jobs youth are asking for is retail, customer service and fast food, so these companies aligned with what the youth is asking for,” she said.
Pérez dijo que esta feria también contará con empresas que brindarán información sobre cómo convertirse en voluntario en su organización para ganar horas comunitarias durante el verano, y varias universidades brindarán información sobre los programas que tienen disponibles.
Pérez recomendó a quienes planeen asistir que se vistan para el trabajo que desean, se entusiasmen, lleguen temprano, practiquen un lanzamiento y estén listos para hacer preguntas.
“We are inviting all youth and recent graduates so they can start gaining skills for the job they want,” she said. “We also invite the parents to come in and engage in the event.”
