Urban League's Job Expo: Connect with Employers & Resources

It's May 1st. Welcome to Hartford News Today, powered by AI.

The Urban League of Greater Hartford is hosting its 26th annual employment empowerment expo

on Wednesday, May 20th, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Duncan Park on Main Street in downtown

Hartford. This free event aims to link hundreds of job seekers with dozens of local employers

offering real pathways to work in a tough economy. Leaders there stress how vital these

connections are right now, with folks facing serious financial hurdles and needing steady

income streams. The expo also hooks up small businesses with resources and even micro-grant

funding through a partnership with the city of Hartford. Community impact runs deep as

participating groups like EverSource, Keybank, Hartford Health Care and the Hartford Police

Department team up year round with the Urban League. The Hartford Yard Goats are sponsoring

and Wheeler Clinic gets props as the employer partner of the year for fostering inclusive

workplaces. For the latest, job seekers and companies can register ahead online or by

calling the workforce team. The Urban League, marking 60 years of service, empowers over

3,000 people annually through jobs, education and equity programs. If you're in the Hartford

area hunting for opportunities or looking to hire, this expo could be your move mark,

to date and get connected for that. Next step up.
