TransWork Job Program Official Kickoff

It's been a long road, but we have been working hard to recruit employers, develop a job bank, and plan job fairs—and we are ready to start connecting applicants to opportunities.  Here are some of the things in the works.

Employment Opportunities

• Job Prep Workshop, August 22, 2019.  To help folks prepare to apply and build confidence for the interview process, we are hosting our second Job Prep Workshop at William Way.  Read more about the event.
• Launch of the TransWork Job Bank.  We are preparing to launch a job bank.  Visit the site often for job postings from supportive employers.
• Philadelphia Airport Job Fair, September 10, 2019.  We're pleased to announce the first job fair with a large, supportive employer, the Philadelphia Airport!  Spearheaded by Kathy Padilla, Deputy Director for Aviation for Diversity and Inclusion, this job fair will focus on what you need to know to gain employment at PHL.
