MAYOR WU ANNOUNCES SECOND SET OF CITY OF BOSTON JOB FAIRS OPEN TO ALL RESIDENTS, STARTING JANUARY 23RD
Several City of Boston Departments are
participating in job fairs for residents to learn more about city services and
apply to open roles across City departments
Building on her commitment to bring City Hall out of City
Hall and into each of Boston’s vibrant neighborhoods, today Mayor Michelle Wu
announced that the City of Boston is holding a second set of virtual job fairs
through the end of January for Boston residents to learn more about key
employment opportunities with the City.
“This initiative has already connected hundreds of residents
with City Hall,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “Connecting with residents
directly is crucial to building an equitable and inclusive City workforce. I am
grateful to our City departments for working quickly to engage residents and
look forward to ensuring our workforce reflects the diversity and expertise
across our neighborhoods.”
"The City of Boston is a rich melting pot of various
cultures and heritages, and it is critical to attract, hire and retain a
workforce that is reflective of that diversity,” said Ceronne Daly,
Managing Director of Office of Recruitment, Cultivation, & Diversity
Programs for Boston Public Schools. “We stand united in joining the City of
Boston Job Fair program as we support constituents to answer this call of duty
to their fellow Bostonians - whether in the realm of arts and culture,
education, transportation, or housing - to continue delivering uninterrupted
vital services to our communities who need them the most."
The job fairs are open to all Boston residents with the goal of
reaching as many residents of Boston that are currently seeking employment
opportunities. This initiative will serve as an opportunity for individuals
across each of our neighborhoods who may not have considered working for the
City to gain a better understanding of what departments do and what roles are
available.
Through the end of January, several departments will participate
in one or multiple job fairs, including: Boston Public Schools (BPS),
Department of Innovation and Technology (DoIT), Boston Fire Department, Office
of Police Accountability & Transparency, Environment, Parks and Recreation,
Age Strong, and Operations

The first round of Job Fairs was held virtually on January 10
with the Department of Innovation and Technology (DoIT), a key City
department that builds and maintains the technology tools that improve residents’
experience and keep the City running. With over 600 individuals registering to attend, the DoIT Job Fair
provided an opportunity for residents to learn more about City’s use of
technology to deliver city services and get connected to employment opportunities.
In addition to participating in various job fairs, Boston Public
Schools launched the BPS Community Recruitment and
Hiring Campaign in November 2021. The campaign is a targeted community-focused
recruitment and engagement effort that provides members of the community with
information about and support to begin and complete the BPS hiring process. These sessions will be
offered on evenings and Saturdays and are available to support multilingual
individuals. Our goal through the campaign is to provide “one-stop” hiring support available to candidates
at all phases of our hiring process.
If an individual is unable to attend the upcoming January job
fairs virtually, please complete this form to
schedule a conversation with a relevant department’s Human Resources (HR)
representative.
