Looking for work? Free Career and Resource Fair April 23 brings 80+ employers

REDLANDS, Calif. — The Redlands Chamber of Commerce will host a free job fair April 23, bringing together employers from across San Bernardino County to connect with job seekers.

The Career and Resource Fair runs from 9 a.m. to noon at the Dorothy Inghram Learning Center in San Bernardino, 670 E. Carnegie Drive. Admission is free and open to the public. Pre-registration is required.

What to expect

The event connects job seekers directly with hiring employers across a broad range of industries and experience levels. With over 80 job vendors and resource providers, open positions span multiple sectors, including:

• Health care: nursing, behavioral and clinical therapy, caregiving, and medical support roles
• Public safety and emergency services
• Logistics and warehousing: forklift operators, package handlers, and general labor
• Trades: bus and diesel mechanics, maintenance, and construction
• Professional services: accounting, administrative support, insurance, customer service, and sales
• Dispatch and transportation

Beyond job listings

The fair includes resources beyond direct employer connections. Attendees can access free training programs and workforce certifications, San Bernardino County job placement services, and expungement support for individuals with qualifying prior convictions. Workforce development and job search assistance will also be available on site.

Why it matters locally

The event comes as the Inland Empire labor market shows signs of strain, with 23,600 jobs lost in January, according to the latest state data.

For many Redlands-area residents, in-person hiring events remain one of the most accessible pathways to employment, particularly for those re-entering the workforce, changing careers or lacking connections to specific industries.
