Salinas Healthcare Recruitment Event November 18: Meet Employers at Monterey County Works

SALINAS, Calif. — October 27, 2026. Monterey County Works has scheduled a healthcare-industry recruitment event for Wednesday, November 18, 2026, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Salinas Career Center, Suite 203, 344 Salinas Street, Salinas.

Job seekers can use the organization’s official November 18 registration page to learn about participation. According to the workforce agency, the event is intended to connect local candidates with employers, let them ask questions about openings and provide information on career and training resources.

What participants should prepare

Applicants should bring a résumé, if available, and be prepared to describe their relevant experience, certifications, job interests and scheduling availability. The career center may be able to help with résumés, interviewing and job-search strategies. The organizer has not guaranteed particular openings, participating employers, interviews or job offers.

One detail applicants and employers should verify

Although the official event calendar and job-seeker registration page both call this a healthcare recruitment, the event’s separate employer-registration page contains text referring to employers in the transportation industry. This appears inconsistent with the event heading, and the final employer list is not verified in the materials reviewed. Anyone signing up should ask Monterey County Works to confirm the industry focus and companies expected to attend.

The employer-registration page lists no participation fee and provides a contact for questions: Laura Kershner, (831) 796-3341. Attendees should confirm registration and accessibility needs with the organizer before traveling.

Related but different training opportunity

Job seekers considering training before applying may also explore Monterey County Works’ separate CNA and Community Health Worker dual-certification program, which has an application deadline of November 20. That program is different from the November 18 recruiting event.
