Rep. Jason Crow turned Arapahoe County Community College's Littleton campus into a hiring hub on Friday, hosting a job fair that drew more than 40 employers and workforce organizations from across the Denver metro. The event ran from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Summit Room, with veterans and military spouses getting early-bird access before the doors opened to the general public.
Employers From Education to the Military
The lineup at the fair stretched across education, public service, finance, health care, housing, retail, and the military. Employers on site included Buckley Space Force Base, Arapahoe County Human Services, EchoStar, Fidelity Investments, Goodwill of Colorado, and Canvas Credit Union, along with local school districts and university programs, according to Sentinel Colorado.
Registration and Logistics
Crow's office encouraged job seekers to RSVP in advance and opened the doors to employers at 8:30 a.m. for setup. Veterans and military spouses were offered early access from 9:30 to 10 a.m., according to Jotform. The fair took place in the Summit Room at Arapahoe County Community College's Littleton campus, 5900 S. Santa Fe Drive.
Crow's Track Record
Since first being sworn into Congress in 2019, Congressman Crow has held annual job fairs across his district. A press release from his office reports that the 2024 job fair connected more than 500 Coloradans with employers and hiring opportunities, a benchmark his team points to as they continue using events like this to expand access to work across the region, as per Rep. Crow's office.
Why It Matters
Local workforce partners such as Arapahoe/Douglas Works! and community colleges at the fair focus on connecting job seekers with training, apprenticeships, and support services that can lead to long-term employment. Organizers say fairs like this are especially useful for veterans, people changing careers, and those seeking entry-level roles, per reporting by Sentinel Colorado.
