Whether you’re looking to land a new gig in 2026 or just explore in-demand professions in the region, the fourth installment of the Brighton Career Fair is just around the corner.
As previously reported, over the course of the last three years, the event has rallied anywhere from a dozen to 20 or more employers annually looking to fill part and full-time positions, as well as seasonal gigs.
This year’s event is set to fill up the Owen Gibb Community Centre inside the King Edward Park Arena on Feb. 3 from 2 to 6 p.m. and is being hosted in partnership with Work in Quinte, a regional employment service under the Bay of Quinte Regional Marketing Board.
Just ahead of the big event, municipal officials continue to encourage interested attendees to consider pre-registering online by either logging in or creating a free account and uploading their resumes.
“Pre-registering allows candidates to skip the line and apply for jobs on the spot at the event,” explained municipal staff, while touching on just a few of the benefits.
As for employers who may still be looking to reserve a booth, at press deadline, there was still space, but it is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis, noted the municipality. The contact for businesses is manager of economic development and communications Ben Hagerman via bhagerman@brighton.ca, or by calling 613-475-0670.
The event is free for both employers and the public.
Of note: Candidates are also encouraged to bring printed copies of their resume.
Interested attendees can also learn more online or through our earlier coverage.
