Long Beach residents with aerospace experience can shoot for the moon and potentially land a job during the Space Beach Career Fair this Thursday.<\/p>\n

This free event is open to the public, but it is primarily intended for people impacted by the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory\u2019s (JPL) laying off 10% of its workforce<\/a> in October, as well as local professionals within the aerospace\/space industry.<\/p>\n

The Space Beach Career Fair is being put on by the Long Beach Department of Economic Development & Opportunity<\/a> (EDO) alongside the Office of Mayor Rex Richardson<\/a>, Verdugo Workforce Development Board<\/a>, Foothill Workforce Development Board<\/a> and the California Employment Development Department<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re proud to host this career fair for those affected by the recent NASA JPL layoffs,\u201d said Richardson in a public statement. \u201cIn Space Beach, the opportunities are endless \u2014 from companies building satellites and spacecraft to those designing space stations and rockets \u2014 all within our own city limits. We want these skilled professionals to know their future in space and aerospace can continue right here at home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Attendees will be able to explore supportive resources, learn about potential pathways to employment and converse with hiring representatives from local aerospace\/space companies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The event will include the following employers: Antares<\/a>, Apex<\/a>, Boeing<\/a>, Coronal Technologies<\/a>, Ford Motor Company<\/a>, Heart Aerospace<\/a>, Hermeus<\/a>, Long Wall<\/a>, Millennium Space Systems<\/a>, Nikon AM Synergy<\/a>, NuSpace PCX Aerosystems<\/a>, Orbital Operations<\/a>, Relativity Space<\/a>, Rocket Lab<\/a>, Space Kenetic Corp.<\/a>, Stratolaunch<\/a>, True Anomaly<\/a> and Vast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Due to high anticipated attendance, the Space Beach Career Fair will be split into two parts, from 9 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 4 p.m. Participants are encouraged to RSVP online<\/a> and select the segment they\u2019d like to attend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to welcome so many talented aerospace and space professionals to explore new opportunities in Long Beach,\u201d said EDO Director Bo Martinez in a public statement. \u201cThe energy and innovation happening in Space Beach are unmatched, and we know these skilled individuals have so much to contribute to the companies that are shaping the future of flight and exploration right here in our city.\u201d<\/p>\n

In February\u00a0 2024, the City of Long Beach held a similar Space Beach Job Fair<\/a>, which garnered around 300 attendees seeking connections and employment within the aerospace\/space industry.<\/p>\n

The Space Beach Career Fair will take place Thursday, Nov. 13 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Long Beach Workforce Innovation Network (LBWIN) Adult Career Services Center (4811 Airport Plaza Drive).<\/p>\n
