Wilson to Host Free Federal Job Fair for South Florida Job Seekers | 2026-08-04 | 2026 | 2026-08 | Democrat | House | FL | Frederica S. Wilson | W000808 | wilson.house.gov | wilson | https://wilson.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | MIAMI GARDENS, FL — Congresswoman Frederica S. Wilson (FL-24) will host a free Federal Job Fair with Commissioner Oliver Gilbert III on Thursday, August 13, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Miami Dade College, 11380 Northwest 27th Avenue, Building 3. The event comes as recent teacher layoffs and federal workforce reductions have left many experienced workers searching for new employment opportunities. The Department of Government Efficiency’s federal workforce cuts have disproportionately affected Black women and other federal employees, disrupting careers and creating uncertainty for families throughout South Florida. “After DOGE firings disproportionately impacted Black women and other federal workers, we are stepping up to connect our community with new opportunities, resources, and a path forward,” said Congresswoman Frederica S. Wilson (FL-24). “Recent teacher layoffs have also displaced dedicated educators who have spent their careers serving our children. This job fair will bring employers and job seekers together so qualified workers can explore open positions and take the next step in their careers.” Job seekers attending the fair will have the opportunity to meet directly with recruiters, interview for full-time and part-time positions, explore careers across multiple industries, and access on-site employment and professional development resources. Attendees are encouraged to bring several copies of their résumés and dress professionally, as participating employers will be prepared to meet and recruit qualified candidates. The Federal Job Fair is free and open to the public. Attendees may scan the event QR code to RSVP. WHO U.S. Rep. Frederica S.
