ULHR Joins Career ConnectFest to Support Workforce Readiness in Portsmouth

On March 18, the Urban League of Hampton Roads participated in Career ConnectFest at Tidewater Community College’s Portsmouth Campus. Hosted by Portsmouth@Work, the event connected local job seekers with nearly 50 employers across a range of industries.

As a partner in the event, we provided attendees with resources focused on employment readiness, including information on resume support, upcoming workforce events, and wellness services. The League’s presence helped reinforce the importance of community-rooted support for individuals seeking stability, growth, and opportunity in their careers.

From high school graduates to adults reentering the workforce, Career ConnectFest created space for people to take meaningful steps forward—and the Urban League of Hampton Roads was proud to stand alongside them.
