Employers and job seekers are invited to take part in the Greater Raritan 2026 Job Fair, which will take place at the Hindu Temple and Cultural Society on Route 202-206 in Bridgewater from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, May 19.
Employers in Hunterdon and Somerset counties, as well as surrounding counties, will be on hand to connect their open positions with the hundreds of job seekers who will be in attendance. There is no charge to attend, for employers or job seekers.
Employers interested can register online here through Thursday, May 14.
This fifth annual event is presented by The Greater Raritan Workforce Development Board and the New Jersey Department of Labor & Workforce Development in collaboration with the temple. Watch and share this short video about the upcoming event.
All participating employers must have several job openings for talent to fill. The positions can be full time, part time, or seasonal internships. Space will be available for individual on-site interviews. The temple can accommodate up to 100 employers.
Community members from around the region are invited to meet the employers during this free event. Last year, more than 700 individuals attended this event and met with more than 70 employers. Job seekers should bring their resume and a willingness to network with hiring managers and personnel. Registration for job seekers is appreciated but not required.
Here is the list of employer/agency participants as of May 1. This list will be updated weekly (on Fridays) and posted at www.thegrwdb.org through May 18.
A floor plan for the event and list of employer/agency participants will be added to the website on May 18 that includes each company’s name, location, industry, and open job titles.
In addition to dozens of employers from around the region, representatives from some state and local agencies will offer informational tables and a representative from the New Jersey Department of Labor will provide career-related information to event attendees.
The event will also feature information on career resources, and a job seeker workshop at 11 a.m. presented by a team member from the Greater Raritan One-Stop Career Training Center who will present an overview of the local area's many services.
