Statewide Virtual Job Fair May 1

SALT LAKE CITY (Apr. 28, 2025) - The Utah Department of Workforce Services is hosting a statewide virtual job fair, Thursday, May 1. Approximately 40 Utah employers will participate in the no-cost online event. Employers at the fair are hiring for more than 2,000 open positions statewide.

"We are excited about the variety of industries represented at the virtual job fair, with employers participating from Logan to St. George," said Liz Carver, Workforce Development Division director. "Whether you are a recent graduate or exploring a new opportunity, the virtual job fair is a convenient way to connect with employers and discover what's available."

The virtual job fair will feature open positions in education, health care, banking, hospitality construction, government and more. Find a complete list of participating employers at jobs.utah.gov.

Job seekers should come prepared with their resume and a professional photo to upload to their profile. They can participate in the fair from their own computer or smartphone. After logging in, participants will be able to see a digital floor plan with rows of booths, each representing an employer. After clicking on an employer booth, the job seeker can see the company profile, job openings and social media. They can also start a live chat with a hiring representative and share their resume. Employers can schedule interviews, start one-on-one video chats or even make job offers on the spot.

The statewide virtual job fair is Thursday, May 1, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. To participate, job seekers should pre-register at jobs.utah.gov and create an account or sign in to 'my Job Search.' Find the event on your dashboard and select it. On the day of the event, sign back in to 'my Job Search' to join. The department is also offering two online workshops the day before, at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. to help job seekers get the most out of the virtual job fair.

In addition to the virtual job fair, job seekers can search more than 25,000 openings at jobs.utah.gov or visit their local employment center.
