Diversity Job Fairs
Link to schedules of diversity job fairs, job expos and other diversity career
events, at event producers' Web sites.
All USA job fairs provide equal employment opportunity (EEO). However, diversity
job fairs are special EEO events targeted to minorities, ethnic groups,
military veterans, disabled people, women and other groups that are underrepresented
in the workplace. Still, because the idea behind them is to provide equal employment
opportunity, diversity job fairs are open to all comers, as are all public
job fairs.
What's the difference between a diversity job fair and a diversity career fair?
Technically speaking, a diversity job fair is for landing jobs and a diversity
career fair is for learning about careers. But it's common for employment-related
Web sites to use either term to mean diversity job fairs. The same goes
for diversity job expo.
