Triple Play Job Fest continues, additional job fairs scheduled for August

August 2, 2022

Montpelier, Vt. –  The Vermont Department of Labor (VDOL) and State Workforce Development Board (SWDB) have extended Triple Play Job Fest, to include an additional job fair on Friday, August 5 with the Vermont Lake Monsters at Centennial Field in Burlington. Triple Play Job Fest events were held previously in White River Junction (July 22), Montpelier (July 27), and Burlington (July 28).

“The first three events were very well received,” said spokesperson Kyle Thweatt. “Employers expressed their enthusiasm for the creative outlet of reaching talent, while jobseekers commented on the number of jobs available, including those with wages that were higher than they were expecting. We are excited to be coming back to Burlington to bring jobs to the ballpark one more time.” 

VDOL will also host two more job fairs in the month of August, in Ludlow, VT on August 9, and, in partnership with NEK Workforce Partners, in Lyndonville on August 18. 

“While these job fairs will be held in more of the traditional model, the Department continues to look for new and innovative ways to create connections between jobseekers and employers,” said Thweatt. “Providing these opportunities within local communities helps us to further our goal of promoting the availability of great local jobs across the state.”
