NFB National Convention Career Fair

July 2, 2023, 1:00 to 4:00 pm Central

Join us Sunday, July 2, 2023, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Central for our National Convention Career Fair, to be held at the Hilton Americas - Houston – 1600 Lamar Street, Houston, TX 77010. There is no charge for employers or job seekers. 

The National Federation of the Blind career fairs are events for blind people seeking jobs to connect with employers, and an opportunity for employers to seek more talent for their teams.

This event will be held in-person – there is not a virtual option.

Each registered employer will have a table and chairs, and registered job seekers will circulate around the room talking to employers. We will provide a list of employers and Employment Committee members will help direct traffic. The National Convention is the largest national event in the Federation year, and draws jobseekers from each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Local, regional, and national employers also attend. 

Here is the link for Registration for Job Seekers -  <https://nfb.org/form/career-fair-jobseeker-registration> https://nfb.org/form/career-fair-jobseeker-registration 

Registration for the career fair is required for both job seekers and employers. Walk-ins will not be admitted. To attend, you must register by 12:00 noon Eastern on Friday June 16, 2023. We will not be able to accept registrations after that time.

When you register for the career fair, please be sure to give complete answers, as employers will use the information you submit to pre-screen you. Remember to give us permission to send them your registration information and resume. If you do not do that, they will not be able to contact you before the career fair and will not know who you are when you come to their table. Of course, the choice is up to you.
