2023 Job Fair

Please note: Due to storm concerns, the 10th Annual Job Fair will be moved indoors at the Bedford Area Family YMCA. The Bedford YMCA is an incredible partner of our Chamber, and we are so grateful for their support of businesses in the greater Bedford community!

The Bedford Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that its upcoming 10th Annual Job Fair will be taking place on April 6 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Bedford Area Family YMCA.

We will have around 35 exhibitors at this year's job fair, representing businesses from all across the Roanoke-Bedford-Lynchburg region! The job fair is free for job seekers, and a variety of full-time, part-time, and seasonal jobs will be available. In addition to being open to the public, the Chamber is working with Bedford County Public Schools to bring high school seniors to the event. 

We are excited to be shaking things up for the 10th Annual Job Fair by expanding and changing some of our usual offerings. Thanks to the Chamber’s partnership with five local professionals, we will be offering free workforce development workshops to the public. The workshops will begin at 11 AM and 12 PM, so come by on your lunch break for some free career development!

Radio434 and TheMIKEShow will be in attendance to conduct “man-on-the-street” interviews with businesses, job seekers, and sponsors. They’ll also be hosting radio interviews with people and businesses involved in the job fair leading up to the event!

There will also be free headshots, giveaways, and lunch for purchase on site, courtesy of Munsey’s Smoke Shack.

Whether you’re hiring, searching for a job, seeking to change careers, or simply wanting to make connections with area professionals, the 10th Annual Job Fair is the one-stop-shop for you. Put on your blazer and join us!
