Miami, FL- The numbers are in. The Neighborhood Enhancement Team (NET) Job Fair was a success!
 
On June 1st, the Neighborhood Enhancement Team (NET) held the First Annual City of Miami Job Fair at the Miami Orange Bowl. The Job Fair, which was open to the public, was created by NET to offer job seekers the opportunity to meet prospective employers in the area and obtain employment. In addition to meeting employers, participants were provided information on workforce development programs, job training, summer jobs and internships.

NET’s goals for the event were to attract a minimum of 500 applicants and create a minimum of 100 job placements in collaboration with at least 20 industry partners.

The City of Miami clearly surpassed these goals! The latest review and analysis showed the following:

Because a large percentage of the industry partners and job seekers are located in the City of Miami, NET is confident that the jobs gained through the job fair will create a positive economic impact throughout the City.

The City of Miami Neighborhood Enhancement Team (NET) looks forward to exceeding these results at its Second Annual Job Fair in 2006!

NET would like to thank the following partners who helped make the First Annual City of Miami Job Fair a success: The Office of Mayor Manny Diaz, Commissioner Tomas Regalado, City of Miami Conferences, Conventions and Public Facilities, Miami-Dade Transit, Baby’s Coffee, Diana Bakery, Portofino Bakery, The Beacon Council; Office of the City Manager; Miami Homeless Assistance Program; City of Miami Police Department and Citizens on Patrol; City of Miami Fire Department; City of Miami Departments of Employee and Labor Relations; City of Miami Department of Parks and Recreation; and City of Miami General Services Administration.
