San Antonio residents seeking work will have a dedicated venue on Monday, Nov. 9, to explore inclusive employment options. Workforce Solutions Alamo is organizing the Alamo HIRES job and resource fair, a free event designed to bridge the gap between employers and job seekers, including individuals with disabilities.
Event details
The fair runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Boeing Center at Tech Port, located at 3331 General Hudnell Drive, San Antonio, TX 78226. Attendees can walk through a series of booths staffed by local businesses, staffing agencies, and community organizations eager to hire a diverse workforce.
Support for job seekers with disabilities
Representatives from the Texas Workforce Commission’s Vocational Rehabilitation Services will be on hand to discuss tailored job‑training programs, assistive technology, and accommodations that help individuals with disabilities succeed in the workplace. Morgan’s Wonderland’s Multi‑Assistance Center will also provide information on educational pathways, skill‑building workshops, and other resources aimed at fostering long‑term employment stability.
Why inclusive hiring matters
Inclusive hiring not only expands the talent pool for employers but also aligns with the values of strong families and faith‑centered communities that prioritize dignity, self‑reliance, and the ability to provide for one’s household. By offering a venue where job seekers can meet potential employers face‑to‑face, the Alamo HIRES fair helps participants prepare for, obtain, and maintain meaningful work while pursuing their professional goals.
What attendees can expect
- Direct conversations with hiring managers from a range of industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, technology, and retail.
- On‑site resume reviews and interview coaching from workforce development experts.
- Information on state‑funded training programs, apprenticeships, and scholarships.
- Resources on workplace accommodations, transportation assistance, and disability rights.
All services are offered at no cost, reflecting the community’s commitment to ensuring that every resident, regardless of ability, has the opportunity to contribute to the local economy and support their families.
How to prepare
Job seekers are encouraged to bring multiple copies of their resumes, a list of references, and any documentation of certifications or training they have completed. Those interested in learning more about specific programs can also schedule brief one‑on‑one meetings with the Texas Workforce Commission or Morgan’s Wonderland staff during the fair.
Community impact
The Alamo HIRES fair is part of a broader effort by local agencies and nonprofits to strengthen San Antonio’s workforce pipeline. By focusing on inclusive employment, the event supports the city’s economic growth while upholding the Christian principle of caring for one’s neighbor and the traditional family value of providing for one’s household.
