CHARLESTON — WorkForce West Virginia will hold its next statewide virtual job fair from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., Oct. 1

“We invite you to unlock your potential at WorkForce West Virginia’s Statewide Virtual Job Fairs,” said Scott Adkins, acting commissioner of WorkForce West Virginia. “Employers and job seekers are encouraged to seize this opportunity to connect and grow together. Since these Statewide Virtual Job Fairs began three years ago, the Virtual Job Fair has had 30,046 registered job seekers, 3,815 registered employers and 17,999 available job openings. In September 2025, the Virtual Job Fair had 1,018 registered job seekers, 108 registered employers, and 739 available job openings.”

Registration is required for both interested employers and job seekers. When attending the event, job seekers are encouraged to dress professionally and have a calm, clutter-free background.

The Virtual Statewide Job Fair portal features a Job Seeker Training video, a list of participating employers and channels for attendees to register and log in.

After registering for the first time, new employers will create a “Virtual Booth” to connect with job seekers. After completion, this booth will be available during subsequent job fairs.
