Allegheny County will hold a virtual career fair on April 13 to fill a variety of vacant positions, including full- and part-time jobs and internships, a spokeswoman said.
Two sessions will be held, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 5 to 7 p.m. Job seekers can register beginning today, she said, and the event will be “mobile-friendly,” allowing participants to use their computer, tablet or phone.
No software is needed, only Internet access, county spokeswoman Amie Downs said.

These aren’t just jobs, but the start of a career.”

The range will include full-time and part-time jobs, seasonal positions and internships. Participants will be able to virtually visit booths and learn about open opportunities.
They will also have the opportunity to chat with county representatives and participate in one-on-one video interviews.
In addition, human resources representatives will host two live webinars to talk about county benefits, at 12 noon and 6 p.m. April 13.
“I’m excited about the opportunities that exist within Allegheny County, and thank Human Resources for their efforts to make the process to learn more about careers in the county as easy as possible for job seekers,” said County Manager William D.
