The Niagara County Department of Employment and Training will hold its final outdoor career fair of 2026 on Wednesday, Sept. 23, at Oppenheim Park. More than 70 companies with open positions have signed up to take part.
“The job market has changed and, for many people, finding the right opportunity can be challenging. At the same time, many employers across our community are looking for talented, hardworking people to join their teams,” said Niagara County Legislator Jesse Gooch, chairman of the community service committee and a small business owner whose company has previously participated in the event. “This career fair is a way to make it easier for jobseekers to connect directly with employers who are hiring and for local businesses to find the people they need to grow.”
The event will be held from noon to 3 p.m. in Oppenheim Park, located at 2713 Niagara Falls Blvd., Wheatfield. No appointment is necessary.
Director of Employment and Training Donald Jablonksi said, “For those who are unsure about their job search or a little nervous, know that our WorkSourceOne team is always present at a career fair and ready to help – whether it’s with resume writing and interview prep or identifying training programs or other services that can build skills. We want every person who attends our career (fair) to be able to put their best foot forward as they pursue these opportunities.”
