Ready to Work? These Employers are Hiring!
Ready to meet your next employer? Job fairs are one of the best ways to connect directly with employers, learn about open positions, and practice your interview skills. Whether you’re exploring your first job or aiming to take the next step in your career, attending a job fair can open doors you might not find online.
Social Security's Ticket to Work Program supports people who receive Social Security disability benefits (SSDI/SSI) at every stage of their workforce journey. Even if you find your own job, the Ticket Program can continue to provide guidance — from resume reviews and interview prep to workplace accommodations and financial goal planning. Ticket Program service providers are ready to help you make the most of every opportunity, including job fairs happening near you.
