North Las Vegas Job Fair Set to Fill Over 100 Positions on May 6, 2025

The City of North Las Vegas will host a job fair on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, aimed at filling over 100 job openings across various departments. The event will take place at North Las Vegas City Hall, located at 2250 N. Las Vegas Blvd, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with doors opening at 9 a.m. for veterans and their families.

Departments Hiring

Participating departments include police, fire, public works, library, and human resources. By connecting local residents with employment opportunities, the city seeks to help alleviate the challenges caused by the current high unemployment rate in Nevada, which is the highest in the nation.

Event Preparations

Prospective attendees are encouraged to come prepared by bringing multiple copies of their resumes. The job fair presents a platform for job seekers to meet with potential employers and discuss available positions directly, thereby enhancing their chances of landing a job.

Additional Job Fair Opportunities

In addition to the North Las Vegas job fair, another event known as the Original Spring Job Fair will occur just days earlier, on May 1, 2025, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. At the Spring Job Fair, attendees will have access to a pop-up EmployNV Career Hub, which will offer essential resources, including computers, printers, and career coaches for resume reviews.

Family Support Available

To further support job seekers, free childcare will be available at the Spring Job Fair for potty-trained children ages 3 to 12, provided on a first-come, first-served basis. This initiative aims to make it easier for parents to participate in the job-seeking process, thereby widening access to potential employment.

Background Context

The need for such job fairs arises amid tough economic conditions, particularly highlighted by Nevada’s notably high unemployment rates. Both job fairs serve as initiatives by local government officials to enhance employment opportunities and connect residents with critically needed jobs.

With the ongoing efforts from city leaders and the community, these job fairs aim to foster resilience among local residents, ultimately encouraging personal and family stability through gainful employment.
