2023 Arkansas HBCU Black Wall Street Career Fest
The 'Arkansas HBCU Black Wall Street Career Fest' returns next month!
What started out at Arkansas Baptist College in 2022, will now take place on April 21st, 2023, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Shorter College in downtown North Little Rock, AR.
In 2022, African-American employers from Arizona, Washington, D.C., Houston, Dallas, Baltimore, and Atlanta all traveled to America’s first inaugural event in Little Rock, and this year, there’s much more to be expected!
Last year’s fair made national news as America's largest HBCU career fair and was the first and only HBCU Black Wall Street-themed career event in higher education, in the nation.
The event will be an all day affair with music, food, networking, resume writing workshops, and free haircuts.
All are welcome to the Little Rock metro area, so book your hotel now, visit the historic landmarks, eat in the river market, and make it a grand weekend. Arkansas HBCU's welcome you!
For employers:
All black-owned businesses, entrepreneurs, and nonprofits in a position to pay college-degree earners are welcome to become vendors. It's free, but registration is required (the deadline is April 14th). Register here.
