Turnaround Houston, which combines the elements of a job fair and a resource center, is a community-based initiative created by Mayor Sylvester Turner in 2016.

“This job fair addresses the barriers to employment that many Houstonians face. More than 4,000 Houstonians, including those with gaps in their employment history, have participated in Turnaround Houston since its inception, in many cases leading to opportunities with some of our city’s finest businesses and organizations,” said Mayor Sylvester Turner. “The companies present in this event are committed to providing jobs to people of all backgrounds and experiences.”

Turnaround Houston is held in collaboration with the Office of Business Opportunity and Workforce Solutions. Since 2020, the event has been held in a virtual format.

“With the virtual format, job seekers can view thousands of job postings using their smartphones or computers,” said Marsha E. Murray, director of the Office of Business Opportunity. “If you have faced barriers to employment, I encourage you to explore the opportunities and resources presented at Turnaround Houston.”
