The format is built for efficiency: attendees register for a one-hour timeslot, walk in, and meet face-to-face with government agencies and private-sector employers at the same time. If advance tickets sell out, walk-ins are still welcome at the door. Employers present span city agencies, nonprofits, and private companies actively filling government and public-sector roles across the metro.

Date: Monday, May 19, 2026, 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. Where: Betances Community Center, 547 E 146th St, Bronx, NY 10455 Hosted by: Jobs NYC / NYC Small Business Services Admission: Free (pre-registration for a timeslot recommended; walk-ins accepted)

Justice in Motion Symposium & Job Fair, June 3, 2026

The most ambitious event on the calendar this cycle is Justice in Motion, an all-day symposium and job fair co-produced by Jobs NYC. Scheduled for June 3 at FerryHawks' Stadium on Staten Island, the event brings together dozens of city agencies and community organizations focused on public safety, criminal justice reform, and community-based services. This is not a generic multi-industry fair: the emphasis is on employers who need candidates committed to equitable, community-centered work. Roles in social services, case management, law enforcement, legal aid, and youth development are all expected to be represented. The event runs from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., giving attendees significantly more time than a standard hiring hall.

Date: Wednesday, June 3, 2026, 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Where: FerryHawks' Stadium, Staten Island University Hospital Community Park, 75 Richmond Terrace, Staten Island, NY 10301 Hosted by: Jobs NYC Admission: Free (mandatory pre-registration required)

3rd Annual Opportunity Hub Career Fair, June 5, 2026

Rounding out the month, Brooklyn's 3rd Annual Opportunity Hub Career Fair lands on Friday, June 5 in the East New York neighborhood. The Opportunity Hub series focuses on connecting residents from communities with persistently high unemployment to local employers who are actively hiring. The midday start time (12:30 p.m.) makes it accessible for people who work mornings or have caregiving responsibilities earlier in the day. Industries represented at past Opportunity Hub events have included nonprofits, healthcare, retail, and community development organizations. The venue is at 1540 Van Siclen Ave, deep in a neighborhood the city has prioritized for workforce investment.

Date: Friday, June 5, 2026, 12:30 p.m. onwards Where: 1540 Van Siclen Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11239 Hosted by: Opportunity Hub Admission: Free
