North Texas job seekers have a major opportunity this November as Workforce Solutions for North Central Texas (WSNCT) hosts two free Hiring Red, White & You! career fairs in Cleburne and Allen. The fairs, part of the 15th annual statewide event, will feature over 4,900 openings from 170 employers ranging from school districts and city governments to manufacturers, banks, hospitals and technology firms.
Veterans and Military Families at the Center
While the primary goal is to connect veterans, transitioning service members and military spouses with employers who value their service, the events are open to anyone seeking employment. “Hiring Red, White & You! is an opportunity to recognize the service and sacrifice of our veterans and military families by helping connect them with meaningful career opportunities,” said Phedra Redifer, executive director of WSNCT. “If you’re looking for a job or a better one, come see us.”
Event Details
Both fairs are free and open to the public. Attendees are encouraged to pre‑register at dfwjobs.com/hiring-red-white-and-you, bring copies of their résumé and dress for an interview. The Cleburne fair will be held at the Cleburne Convention Center on November 12, and the Allen fair at the Allen Event Center on November 19.
Employer Participation
Employers have signed up from a wide range of sectors. School districts and city governments will be looking for educators, administrators and public‑service staff. Manufacturing firms are seeking skilled tradespeople, while banks and hospitals need clerical and professional talent. Technology companies will be recruiting for entry‑level and senior positions, including roles that pay six figures.
Statewide Impact
Since its inception in 2012, the Hiring Red, White & You! program has partnered with more than 26,500 employers, connected over 153,000 job seekers and facilitated more than 4,300 same‑day hires, according to the Texas Workforce Commission. This year’s fairs continue that tradition, bringing dozens of employers and thousands of openings directly to North Texas residents.
Community Support
The Allen Economic Development Corporation is sponsoring the Allen event, helping to bring additional employers and resources to the fair. Local chambers of commerce, veteran service organizations and community groups are also collaborating to ensure the fairs reach as many job seekers as possible.
For anyone in the region looking to start a new career, change direction or find a better position, the Hiring Red, White & You! fairs provide a focused, supportive environment. Pre‑registration is encouraged to streamline the check‑in process and maximize the chance of meeting the right employer.
