[Duluth, MN] CareerForce, the Greater Downtown Council, Visit Duluth, and the Canal Park Business Association are partnering to host Hospitality Hiring Week April 26 - May 3, 2021.

To kick off Hospitality Hiring Week, CareerForce and the above partners are hosting a drive/walk through job fair on Tuesday, April 27 from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. at the DECC in the parking lot of Amsoil Arena. CareerForce staff will be on-site to share job opportunities with a growing list of over 25 different employers.  CareerForce staff will be available to answer questions, and attendees can fill out and submit a universal application on-site.

Participants are asked to wear masks and respect social distance guidelines. Those who attend can walk or drive through the event. Each person who attends will receive a bag with information on current job openings at local companies that are hiring now. Attendees can walk or drive through the event. Those who choose to drive through will not need to exit their vehicle. Participants are asked to follow the traffic flow and wait patiently while others are being served. If you have questions about this event contact CareerForce at 218-302-8400.

In 2016, the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development labor statistics estimated that there were 14,654 jobs in Duluth connected to accommodation and food service. This industry was hit hard during the pandemic which resulted in many job layoffs. The Hospitality Hiring Week is an opportunity to fill those employment gaps to prepare for the upcoming busy season.

CareerForce locations are equal opportunity employers and service providers. If you need this information in alternative formats, please contact 218-302-8400.
