Greater Brookfield Chamber of Commerce, with regional workforce agency, sponsors regional job fair

September 6, 2017 Job fair targets job seekers in regional retail, restaurant and hospitality sectors

The Greater Brookfield Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with a regional workforce agency, is sponsoring an “industry sector” job fair on September 6, 2017, 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm, at the Sheraton Milwaukee Brookfield, 375 S Moorland Road, Brookfield, WI 53005. This job fair is targeted at linking job seekers in the retail/restaurant/hospitality sector with companies who are hiring.

Carol White, president & CEO of GBCC, said, “We learned from the successful job fair we sponsored in 2016 that many businesses were interested in an “industry sector” job fair to better target the appropriate job seeker. This year, in part due to the Bluemound Road building boom and feedback we received last year at our sold-out program, Bluemound Road Building Boom – From Barker to Moorland, we are focusing on the retail, restaurant, and hospitality sector.”

White continued, “We heard from our members that they need team members – we are hosting this job fair to support our business community. Almost everywhere you travel in our area, you see “Now Hiring” signs. Employers are eager to make connections with job seekers. Your business does not have to be a member of the Brookfield Chamber to participate in the event. And, your business does not need to be in Brookfield or even Waukesha County.”
