Published: September 15, 2026 | By LocalJobPage Team

LAS VEGAS, NV — EmployNV is bringing a free, two-part hiring day to the Historic Westside on Thursday, October 8. The Career Fair & Resource Expo at the West Las Vegas Library opens with employers recruiting for manufacturing, skilled trades, healthcare and other growing fields, then turns the room over to training programs and support services for the rest of the afternoon.

One address, one afternoon, two reasons to show up: a job lead before lunch and a plan for the next step after it.

💼 What the Career Fair Is Recruiting For

The first block runs 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and EmployNV is pitching it at three fields: manufacturing, the skilled trades and healthcare, plus what it calls "many other growing industries." That mix is a useful signal. Southern Nevada still runs on the Strip, but warehouse and production work keeps spreading across North Las Vegas and the Apex corridor, construction crews stay busy across the valley, and the hospital systems are hiring well past nurses into techs, patient access and support roles.

What has not been published yet is the employer list. EmployNV's own listing says the lineup of employers and resource partners is coming soon. Until it posts, treat this as a fair for people open to those three sectors rather than a place to find one specific company, and check the event page again the week before.

📋 The Resource Expo, and Why It's Worth Staying

After a one-hour break, the Resource Expo runs 3 to 6 p.m. The organizer describes it as a chance to meet organizations offering career pathways, training and support services. For anyone who needs a certificate before the trades or healthcare jobs downstairs will look at them, that second block can matter as much as the first.

The later window also helps anyone working a day shift. If you cannot get away at noon, 3 to 6 p.m. is still a reason to make the drive, and EmployNV staff can point you toward the next hiring event on its calendar.

🗺️ Getting There

The West Las Vegas Library sits on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in the Historic Westside, a short hop off US-95 and minutes from downtown. The library district lists its phone as (702) 507-3980 if you need directions or parking details.

If the name sounds familiar, it should: EmployNV used the same library for a career fair on September 15, which is listed in our Fall 2026 Las Vegas job fairs guide along with other fairs coming up at Santa Fe Station and Sunset Station. Different day, different lineup, same front door.
