There will be over 1000 job seekers and over 40 potential employers with booths at the fair, along with multiple education panels including topics such as Cannabis Job Report and Trends.

The career fair is also in participation with National Expungement Week, a week of events across the U.S. that offers expungement and other forms of legal relief to those with convictions on their records.

The Career Fair will offer an expungement clinic on-site, where individuals from Vangst and the non-profit SSDP (Students for Sensible Drug Policy) will be available to inform people of their rights and sign them up for the Clean Slate Program, used by the San Francisco Police Department to begin the expungement process for marijuana convictions that were never prosecuted.
