The Missouri Department of Higher Education & Workforce Development (MDHEWD) will focus on healthcare openings during its Return Strong Virtual Job Fair on Tuesday, April 6.

The Return Strong Virtual Job Fairs are part of the state’s efforts to help Missourians skill up and get back to work following the economic downturn caused by layoffs from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Job seekers statewide will be able to search job listings, meet with hiring organizations, receive tips for resume writing and job interviews, and learn more about Missouri Job Center services and training opportunities.

The April 6 fair will be the third virtual job fair since December 2020 featuring healthcare positions. The previous fairs linked more than 1,500 job seekers to hiring employers. Because of the continued demand for healthcare workers, an additional Return Strong Virtual Job Fair focused on health care has been scheduled for Tuesday, June 22.

All fairs will take place on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.:
• April 6 (healthcare);
• April 20;
• May 4;
• May 18 (information technology);
• June 8 (remote & part-time work); and
• June 22 (healthcare).

Interested job seekers can register for the April 6 fair, and any of the other upcoming fairs, at returnstrongmo.easyvirtualfair.com. Job seekers should create a profile and upload their resumes so employers can easily reach out after the event.
