City’s set to host its biggest-ever ROC the Block hiring fair next week

 

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The ROC the Block hiring fair series continues on Wednesday, July 15. The Rochester Public Market will host the fair from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The City of Rochester says the upcoming fair will have the most employers and community resources in ROC the Block’s six-year history. RTS, Spectrum, Trillium Health, Qualitrol, and AMR are just some of the employers set to attend.

People can meet with employers across the region, get help with their resume, and learn about support services such as childcare and housing. The city’s Workforce Development Mobile Unit will be there with Wi-Fi access and laptops to help people complete their resumes and job applications.

The city says the goal of ROC the Block is to create a one-stop shop for job seekers in a block party-style event. The first event of the season took place on June 17 at Paul Bianchi Park. Here’s the schedule for the rest of the season, all of which take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.:

  • Aug. 19: Salvation Army, 100 West Ave.
  • Sept. 24: Parcel 5, 285 E. Main St.

If you’re an employer or organization that wants to take part in ROC the Block, you can email RocTheBlock@CityofRochester.Gov.
