38TH ANNUAL CAREER EXPO | June 24th, 2021 | Latin American Association

This year, the Career Expo is part of our Workforce Development Initiative. The annual Career Expo is Atlanta’s premier job fair for job seekers. The Career Expo provides employers seeking diversity in the workplace the opportunity to connect with highly qualified candidates. Employers include corporate, nonprofit, and government organizations.

The Career Expo will be a hybrid event this year. Sponsors and exhibitors have the opportunity to either participate in a virtual career expo or safely in-person at the LAA office. In the 2020 Virtual Job Fair, top sponsors were Cox, the U.S. Department of State, and Synovus. Other participating companies included Precision 2000, Emory University, Truist, Diaz Foods, and Gibson Landscaping.
