The DREAM Job Fair was created and designed to help ALL candidates find competitive employment in the community.  The core focus of the event is to concentrate on inclusive hiring in the workforce to include people living with disabilities, U.S. Veterans,  college students, youth and disadvantaged populations.  The DREAM Job Fair in Phoenix has existed since 2012 and continues to serve the greater Phoenix regions' Top Employers and the incredible pool of talented candidates who are seeking gainful employment! 

First and foremost, the event was not created as a business model but simply a meaningful community event to introduce candidates who possess great skills, education and bring value added talent to the workplace!

Second, the event is managed by 12 incredible volunteer professionals who work in the community and dedicate their personal & company time to help individuals who live with disabilities, college students, veterans, youth and disadvantaged populations.  The goal is to get these candidates in front of decision makers who conduct hiring for their companies and are seeking top talent to meet their business needs.
