Building a strong, resilient workforce takes effort and teamwork. The City of Frederick Department of Economic Development (DED) partnered with regional leaders to support the Rebuilding Careers Job Fair & Hiring Event, reinforcing a shared commitment to workforce development and economic growth.
Held in collaboration with City of Frederick, Frederick County Workforce Services, Frederick County Chamber of Commerce, the Maryland Department of Labor, Professional Outplacement Assistance Center, and the Maryland Department of Social and Economic Mobility and Office of Small, Minority & Women Business Affairs, the event attracted 565 jobseekers and brought together 73 employers that offered a range of community resources to support job seekers at every stage of their career journey.
The City of Frederick served as a sponsor and played an active role in planning alongside these partners. During the event, the City hosted a booth and was joined by several Frederick-based businesses, all working to showcase local job opportunities and connect directly with talent. Attendees had access to career pathways in industries including healthcare, technology, education, hospitality, and public service, as well as support services such as résumé assistance, mock interviews, and workforce training resources. Building on the success of a similar event held last year, this continued effort reflects the City’s dedication to creating consistent, impactful opportunities that connect residents to employment and help local businesses succeed.
