Events Career Seekers Employers Job Fairs Plains Midwest Virtual Career Fair – Feed Your Future campaign
AgCareers.com, in partnership with CareersinFood.com, is proud to announce the launch of the national Feed Your Future campaign. Feed Your Future virtual career fairs will highlight and connect job seekers and employers with career opportunities throughout the food chain.
The Plains Midwest Virtual Career Fair takes place online January 28, 2021 for job seekers in these states: Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, and Wyoming.
Maintaining a strong supply chain is more important than ever during COVID-19, and careers in the agri-food industry are essential. AgCareers.com developed this Feed Your Future initiative to connect agri-food employers and job seekers virtually, addressing the pandemic’s constraints on traditional in-person recruitment events.
For some, COVID-19 directly affected their employment, while others may be ready to explore a new career or even a new industry such as agriculture and food. The Feed Your Future awareness campaign features a series of regional virtual career fairs and helpful employment events across the United States.
