The Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau job fair is on Thursday, May 13, 2021 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

• Blue Mountain Resort– 1660 Blue Mountain Drive, Palmerton

  (for Pike/Wayne counties employment opportunities)
• Kalahari Resorts & Conventions– 250 Kalahari Blvd, Pocono Manor

The goal is to introduce job seekers to the hundreds of fun and exciting positions that are available throughout the Poconos’ hospitality industry and beyond.​ Tourism-related employers of all shapes and sizes will be on-hand to discuss their open jobs, which include full-time, part-time, and seasonal positions from entry to executive level.  Advanced registration is not required for job seekers.

By signing the Pocono Promise, Blue Mountain Resort, The Inn at Woodloch, and Kalahari Resorts & Conventions have committed to prioritizing health and safety. Masks and social distancing are required during the job fair.

“As pandemic-related restrictions continue to ease and the Poconos’ hospitality industry begins regaining normalcy, we understand the critical need to fill jobs and are excited to work with our chambers, PA CareerLink, Pocono Counties Workforce Investment Area, and our three job fair sites,” said Marlyn Kissner, VP of Membership and Community Relations, Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau. “Partnership and collaboration are key, and we thank everyone involved.”

To further support regional workforce efforts, the PMVB has opened its Job Openings site to the public. Non-member businesses that would like to publicize their hospitality-related job openings in Carbon, Monroe, Pike, or Wayne counties can email jobs@poconos.org. Members of the PMVB should continue submitting their open positions here.

The PMVB’s Job Openings site, which serves as an employment hub for tourism-related jobs throughout the Poconos, launched in January and is updated regularly as positions are filled and new ones become available. The site currently features nearly 150 jobs from 35 different properties.
