PUBLICITY
We will make every effort to publicize the event far & wide including promotions, NWSCC's & UNA's current and past students, partner organizations' clients, personal and professional networks, e-mail, websites, and all social media platforms.
The Florence MSA unemployment rate (those who are "actively" seeking employment) is a point higher than this time last year, hovering around 3.5% (July 2024). We believe a "one stop" Job Fair will draw the most possible Job Seekers, both unemployed and looking for a different position. That said, please know that 3.5% is very low. This is why everyone is having a hard time finding workers. We will also try to draw those currently considered "non-participants" into the workforce (able-bodied, of working-age, but not recently seeking employment for a variety of reasons). Adding those as active seekers can significantly increase the labor pool.
Please feel free to share this opportunity within your sphere of influence ... family, friends, church, community orgs, etc. in case they know of job seekers.
