Hospitality Career Expo Coming Up In Napa

NAPA, CA — Employment opportunities in the tourism industry are the focus of the annual Hospitality Career Expo, set for Tuesday at CareerPoint NAPA. According to county officials, a combined payroll of $492 million and an estimated 15,872 employees make the tourism industry the second-largest employer in Napa County — right behind the wine industry.

More than 30 of Napa's leading hospitality employers are slated to be on hand for the March 3 event, which runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 2751 Napa Valley Corporate Dr., Building A, in Napa.

The Hospitality Career Expo aims to raise awareness about hospitality career pathways and growth opportunities, and to hire candidates for a wide range of job opportunities ranging from entry-level to executive-level and on a seasonal, part-time or full-time basis.

The expo combines the employer booths and onsite interviews of a traditional job fair with career pathways, Spanish-language support, information about paid training and educational options.

Leading up to the Hospitality Career Expo, CareerPoint is offering coaching to provide job seekers with feedback on their resumes, interviewing skills and attire. Job seekers are encouraged to call 707-253-WORK (9675) for more information.
