LIBERTYVILLE — Following the success of last year’s Lake County Job Fair, State Senator Mary Edly-Allen is collaborating with State Representative Laura Faver Dias, the Round Lake Area Park District, Job Center of Lake County, Illinois Job Bank and the Illinois Department of Employment Security for another event this year at the Round Lake Area Park District Sports Center.

“This job fair is a wonderful educational and networking opportunity for local job seekers and employers,” said Edly-Allen (D-Libertyville). “With over 40 area employers from a variety of sectors, the fair offers a range of job options. One of the greatest ways to make connections is by networking with others, and I am proud to sponsor this event alongside Representative Faver Dias to expose the community to the many employment opportunities offered in our area.”

The 2025 Lake County Job Fair will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 12 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Round Lake Area Park District Sports Center, located at 2004 Municipal Way in Round Lake Beach. The event is free to the public and will feature over 40 employers with a range of positions available.

Registration is not required for job seekers; however, interested individuals can fill out this form to receive event updates, including a list of participating employers. On-site interviews will be available, and attendees are encouraged to bring copies of their resume to share. Veterans will get priority for the first half hour.

“My number one priority is ensuring that people in our community have opportunities to flourish,” said Faver Dias (D-Grayslake). “A key component of that is putting them in rooms that allow them to explore several career paths, network, and gain confidence so that they can grow in their personal and professional lives.”

In addition to the job fair, at noon there will be a free workshop on how to apply for state jobs.

Employers interested in having a table at the event can apply here until July 31.
