Airport Small Business Summit Job Fair
On Tuesday, May 12, the Chicago Department of Aviation will host its 5th annual Airport Small Business Summit + Job Fair, which will feature hiring vendors and small businesses, as well as job seeker and small business workshops, networking and hire-on-the-spot opportunities.
From 8 am to noon, the Small Business Summit will welcome small business owners to learn about upcoming business opportunities, understand the current state of the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and Airport Concessions Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) programs, and network with fellow vendors.
Workshops during the Small Business Summit will focus on navigating the DBE and ACDBE Programs, a Concessions 101 presentation and an overview of an upcoming request for proposals (RFP) for Operational Readiness and Airport Transfer.
From noon - 4 pm, the Job Fair will connect attendees directly with hiring businesses and organizations, alongside skill-building sessions focused on helping candidates secure their next role.
Workshops during the Job Fair will focus on resume writing, job interview skills, tips for job seekers and an abbreviated version of the CDA's Aviation Career Pathways Program, which will earn participants a certificate upon completion.
In addition to the workshops, the event will feature an exhibit hall floor where entrepreneurs and job seekers can engage directly with City Departments, airport concessionaires, airlines, cargo operators, airport contractors, professional services providers and construction managers at risk (CMARs).​
