The listings don't publish specific openings or pay. Treat that as homework: look up each employer's current Kansas City openings before Tuesday and walk in knowing which role you want to ask about. No employer has promised a headcount, so go in ready to apply and follow up, not expecting an offer at the table.

📋 How to Show Up Ready

Workforce Partnership asks job seekers to bring an updated résumé and dress professionally. It also recommends setting up a free account on KANSASWORKS beforehand, since that's the state system its staff use to connect you with openings and training afterward.

Several printed copies of your résumé
A photo ID and a list of references with phone numbers
Your weekly availability written down, especially for shift or part-time work

Need help with the résumé first? Workforce Partnership runs résumé workshops in Wyandotte County and offers appointments with career navigators. Anyone who needs a disability accommodation at the fair can request it through Kansas Relay Service (TDD 711 or 1-800-766-3777) at least five working days ahead, per the event announcement.

Getting to 625 Minnesota Avenue

The Main Library sits in downtown KCK, a few blocks from City Hall and a short hop off I-70 and the Lewis and Clark Viaduct for anyone coming over from the Missouri side.

Laid off recently or expecting to be? Workforce Partnership has a separate Dislocated Workers Job Fair on Thursday, October 22, 1:00 – 4:00 p.m., at the Johnson County Library's Central Resource Library. Different event, different county, different audience. Check the event page for details and registration before you go.
