myGwork Presents WorkFair 2025: A Global Career Fair
myGwork, the preeminent global inclusive talent platform, is excited to announce the highly anticipated WorkFair 2025, set to take place on November 5, 2025. This premier virtual event is designed to connect LGBTQ+ students, graduates, and allies with progressive employers across the globe, fostering opportunities for a more inclusive workforce.
What to Expect at WorkFair 2025
As the largest virtual career fair dedicated to the LGBTQ+ community, WorkFair 2025 offers an array of engaging experiences. Attendees will have access to numerous job openings, professional workshops, and informative webinars, tailored to drive early-career talent and allies towards success. The previous edition drew over 7,600 graduates from upwards of 122 countries, aided by the involvement of over 200 educational institutions, and even more participants are expected this year, eager to land their ideal roles with inclusive employers.
The Importance of Inclusion in the Workplace
A recent global survey conducted by myGwork among over 2,000 participants revealed that more than one-third identify as LGBTQ+. The survey highlights a compelling need for inclusive workplaces where individuals can express their true selves. Over 70% of LGBTQ+ Gen Z respondents wish to work in environments that celebrate diversity. Moreover, many expressed apprehensions about perseverance in organizations that do not prioritize authenticity, with concerns over discrimination impacting their career growth.
Accessing Inclusive Employers
This year, WorkFair aims to bridge the gap between job seekers and welcoming companies. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with major corporate players like Capgemini, Marsh McLennan, Pfizer, and many others committed to cultivating inclusive environments. These companies recognize that they must not just hire, but actively compete for diverse talent.
Empowering Future Generations
Numerous organizations, including GSK and Taylor Wessing, are poised to participate, echoing their commitment to inclusivity. GSK's Chief People Officer, Diana Conrad, articulated the company's dedication to fostering a culture where all employees feel safe to bring their authentic selves to work. Similarly, Robin Panrucker, from Taylor Wessing, emphasized the significance of connecting with the next generation and building a supportive workplace.
