Toyota Arena in Ontario and the Ontario Convention Center will participate in a virtual three-day job fair that will happen on four continents.
ASM Global, the Los Angeles-based venue and event management company, has been planning the online gathering for six months.
Ultimately, ASM Global hopes to hire 1,000 workers who will be placed in some of the world’s largest entertainment venues, said Ron Bension, ASM Global’s president and chief executive officer.
“The return to live is just what the world needs,” Bension said in a statement. “There’s a thrill, an excitement, that makes this business feel communal for everyone involved. Our hope is that [the job fair] will help ignite that excitement.”
Both Ontario venues have multiple job openings, said Sue Oxarart, director of marking and communications for the Greater Ontario Convention & Visitors Bureau and the Ontario Convention Center.
“We’ve been having live events, the hard part has been keeping them staffed,” Oxarart said. “It would be nice to have a full staff.”
The United States, Canada and Latin America are scheduled for Feb. 15 and 16, the United Kingdom Feb. 16 and 17, and Asia-Pacific Feb. 16 and 17. Applicants may access the job fair through https://reg.ecareerfairs.com/e/asmglobal-us.
