Revere Works, a dynamic coalition of City departments, workforce training agencies, and educational providers, successfully organized a highly anticipated job fair on Thursday, June 22, at Revere High School. The event, which took place from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., attracted a large number of Revere job seekers and garnered enthusiastic feedback from both attendees and participating employers.
The job fair welcomed an impressive lineup of major employers, comprising twelve prominent organizations.

Additionally, coalition workforce development specialists actively engaged with job seekers, offering guidance and referrals to facilitate successful connections.
