Chambergram 12 As a member of the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce, we want you to know that your voice matters! In late 2022, we held a breakfast meeting called CEO Circle, where we met with CEO’s, business owners and executive staff from our Diamond, Platinum and Gold membership. During this meeting, there was a common theme that kept getting brought up...workforce issues. Across all industries of business, our members are having a hard time attracting and retaining quality staff, and wanted to know what we could do to help. After this event, we decided to launch a Workforce Development committee to address this ongoing issue for our members. After only two meetings this year, our new committee decided to design a webpage on our Pasadena Chamber website called “Workforce Center.” This webpage will host a user friendly job board, resources for both job seekers and employers, and a lot more. The expected launch date for this webpage is the end of March, so be on the lookout for that announcement. As a reminder, any member of the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce is welcome to become part of our committees. The Workforce Development Committee meets on the first Wednesday of the month at 8:30am here at the Chamber office. Another initiaitve we will continue with this year is our massive Job Fair, “Discover Your Future.” It will take place on April 26th at the Pasadena Convention Center. We have dedicated the first hour and a half (3pm - 4:30pm) to high school students only, and the last hour and a half (4:30pm - 6pm) will be open to everyone. We are expected to have close to 100 employers on site who have available jobs and ready to hire. As a business, we invite you to secure your FREE booth by emailing [email protected]. If you or someone you know if insterested in applying for available jobs, please help spread the word by sharing the flyer on the next page.
