Are you looking for a job in the Chicagoland area? Or are you an employer looking to reach a multicultural workforce?

The 40 Tons Level Up Career Conference is an innovative employment resource that promotes social justice, brings together employers that encourage equitable hiring practices, and connects them to BIPOC Job seekers.

The 40 Tons Level Up Career Conference offers far more than a traditional job fair. Our career conference fuses hands-on education, important resources, and a curated networking reception. The career conference is an excellent opportunity to connect diverse & BIPOC talent and give back to the community.

In addition to connecting companies with prospective job hires, the Level Up conference provided attendees with complimentary resources like:

Resume development & LinkedIn optimization
Educational classes & engaging panel discussions
Expungement Clinic to assist individuals with criminal convictions to get their records cleared
Professional headshots, haircuts, and dress
Rooftop Networking Mixer

All these components will come together on June 19th at the Malcolm X College Conference Center for this one-day event. This is your invitation to connect and network with progressive companies and diverse job candidates and establish new business connections.

The 40 Tons Level Up Career Conference is more than just a career fair.
