WARWICK, R.I. — The Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training will hold a second corporate career fair Nov. 14 at the Community College of Rhode Island's Knight Campus in Warwick, aimed at workers whose jobs have been affected by Hasbro's relocation and at anyone else looking for new work, the department said.

The fair runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is organized with Workforce Solutions of Providence/Cranston. More than 25 employers are expected to recruit for corporate positions in business operations, finance, human resources, information technology, marketing, project management, logistics and other fields, the department said.

Job seekers will also be able to get help from department career center staff, Skills for Rhode Island's Future and the United Way of Rhode Island. Pre-registration is not required but is encouraged, and attendees should bring several copies of their resume, according to the department.

"As our state navigates periods of economic change, it's more important than ever for organizations to come together in support of our workforce," said Matthew Weldon, the department's director.

The city of Pawtucket has worked with the department on its response to Hasbro's departure, the department said. Pawtucket Mayor Donald R. Grebien said the city's priority is supporting the employees and families affected.

"These are talented, experienced professionals who have contributed so much to our community, and they deserve every opportunity to continue building successful careers here in Rhode Island," Grebien said.

The department also offers free one-on-one job coaching, referrals to low- or no-cost training programs and in-person help at American Job Centers in Providence, West Warwick and Woonsocket, as well as virtual appointments.
