The event is expected to include dozens of area employers and will pair with the launch of the Austin Infrastructure Academy, the local workforce initiative meant to spur job training and growth alongside the billions of dollars in major projects now in development around the city.
What's happening
The infrastructure career fair will be held March 26 from 10:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. at Workforce Solutions' North Career Center, located at 9001 N. I-35, Unit 110A, Austin.
Hundreds of job-seekers are expected to connect with more than 40 employers and trainers at the "one-stop-shop" for careers and upskilling in mobility and infrastructure work, according to Workforce Solutions.
Those seeking opportunities in the field can sign up to attend here, and employers can register for a table here.
Zooming out
The infrastructure academy concept is also supported by Austin, Travis County and the Austin Community College system. It recently came together in anticipation of the tens of thousands of new jobs that'll be needed for the construction of the I-35 and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport expansions, the Project Connect transit system, and other large-scale projects.
