The City of Buckeye is launching an initiative aimed at curbing the trend of its residents commuting long distances for work. The Reduce the Commute Job Fair, scheduled for October 28 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at The Landing. According to a statement on City of Buckeye's official website, over 90% of the city's residents currently travel outside the city for work, a statistic the fair hopes to impact significantly.
With a medley of job options spanning industries such as Advanced Manufacturing, Distribution and Logistics, Water and Energy, the job fair also features sectors like retail, healthcare, and government. It's pitched as an "all industry" event where potential employees can engage with over 30 employers, collectively offering more than 6,000 job opportunities, as mentioned on the City of Buckeye's official website. Job seekers are encouraged to arrive dressed for success with updated resumes, ready for on-the-spot interviews for a range of positions including entry to management level, part-time, full-time, and seasonal work.
Seeking to better equip job applicants, the City of Buckeye is introducing Employer Spotlights & Job Fair Prep sessions on October 27, as a precursor to the main event. The specific details and registration information for these sessions and the job fair are available for interested parties at Buckeye's career dedicated webpage.
