From the Governor
As
part of our mission to enable Mississippi to reach its full potential, the
Governor's Job Fair Network was created to aid all Mississippians in finding
safe and secure employment. This statewide program serves to facilitate
interaction for those seeking employment as well as for companies seeking
qualified employees. While we continue efforts to attract new businesses
to the state, the Governor's Job Fair Network is an excellent outlet for
showcasing what Mississippi has to offer. In addition, the Governor's Job
Fair Network is a self-sustaining program that generates all of its own
operational funds.
As Governor, I welcome you to the Governor's Job Fair Network.
From the Mississippi Development Authority
The
Mississippi Development Authority plays a vital role in the economic development
of our state. As such, we are proud to be a partner of the Governor's Job
Fair Network and look forward to continuing our support for this program.
Complementing the Advantage Mississippi vision, the Governor's Job Fair
Network plays a vital role by enticing companies with an established program
geared at helping them select from a high quality workforce. We feel that
this innovative program unlike any other in the country gives Mississippi
a distinct advantage in its pursuit of economic development. We welcome
you to the Governor's Job Fair Network.
From the Mississippi Department of Employment Security

With its "outside the box" type thinking the Governor's Job Fair Network fills a need of facilitating networking opportunities between job seekers and employers. The Network also integrates well with the WIN Job Centers by highlighting their ongoing resources and programs. As we continue to promote the great business climate of Mississippi and its workforce, I welcome you to explore the opportunities and events of the Governor's Job Fair Network.
From the Director
The Governor's Job Fair Network is a unique, proactive, employment assistance resource for the unemployed, employers and communities of Mississippi. The ultimate objective of this effort is job placement. Our goals are accomplished through community based job fairs offered throughout the state. The job fairs, coordinated by the Governor's Job Fair Network are presented in conjunction with local community efforts to provide job seekers the opportunity to apply for jobs with a number of different employers in a centralized, user-friendly setting. For business and industry, the job fairs provide their human resource representatives the opportunity to interview a variety of potential employees. Many job seekers receive job offers on the day of the job fair, while others are required to complete additional screening for current and future position vacancies.
