400 JOB SEEKERS ATTEND

7th Annual Job Fair

Employers and the largest number of job seekers packed the Havert L. Fenn Center in Fort Pierce on January 20, 2022 for the 7th Annual Job Fair. The City of Fort Pierce Grants Division partnered with CareerSource Research Coast, St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners, The Economic Development Council of St. Lucie County, and the St. Lucie County Chamber of Commerce in bringing the largest crowd yet!

There were over 80 employers and 20 community service providers in attendance with immediate job openings. The primary goal was to promote and increase the job choices available to residents, provide job seekers the resources to apply for jobs, and have on site interviews with employers. Our local community partners provided information on various types of assistance and much more. The event was a major success.

In 2022 and 2023 Fort Pierce Youth Council member, Mia Morrison, won the Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Lucie County's Youth of the Year and State of Florida Youth of the Year! As a member of YOCO, Mia brings inspiration, ideas, and leadership to the council to effect change for her peers. Mia currently serves as the Council’s first Vice Chairperson. She is a dual-enrollment student attending Lincoln Park Academy and Indian River State College. We are so proud of you!
