Urban League Holds First Virtual Job Fair

Urban League of Central Carolinas (Charlotte, NC) held its first virtual job fair Wednesday (April 15).

People got connected online looking for a job, and had a virtual one on one meeting with five employers.

Companies participating were Walmart, UPS, Atrium Health UPS, and RJ Leeper Construction.

Ted McDaniel is the President/CEO of Urban League of Central Carolinas. He says this virtual job fair was needed to give people who were laid off hope.

“One in five Charlotte area residents works in three industries” McDaniel said. “Retail, hospitality and restaurant - many of them are smaller size businesses and because of the pandemic - it has really been devastating to those industries we have - though our goal is to get residents back on their feet.”
