200+ Job Openings from 25+ Businesses at Mall of America on February 13
The Builders Association of the Twin Cities-Housing First Minnesota is holding its sixth annual residential construction career fair to help fill 200+ job openings from 25+ businesses. A skilled worker shortage has plagued the construction industry nationwide. The Twin Cities is no exception as builders, remodelers and their trade partners struggle to staff up for increasing demand. Because so many skilled tradesmen left the industry during the recession, the construction industry is one of the most short-staffed employment sectors in the state of Minnesota.
Job seekers of all types are invited to attend the Housing Industry Career Fair. There is no fee to attend with no appointments necessary. Job seekers are encouraged to bring their resumes and references. Attendees can also discuss career paths and future opportunities with the participating companies. A Spanish language translator will be available.
