The College of the Florida Keys (CFK) is hosting a free networking and career advancement event on Wednesday, April 1 from 12:30 to 2 p.m. at the Tennessee Williams Theatre on CFK’s Key West Campus. CFK welcomes current and future job seekers, career-driven individuals, and the professionally curious, employed or not.
CFK Career Connections is more than a free job fair and professional networking event. It’s a relaxed, no pressure occasion to explore opportunities, get assistance, or even help others. It’s open to everyone: current students, alumni, and job seekers throughout the Keys community.
Employers in Monroe County are actively competing for talented, committed people, and CFK Career Connections offers the opportunity for participants to get a good feel of the current job landscape and expand their professional network for current and future job searches.
CFK Career Connections is not just for graduating students or people between jobs. It is designed for the full spectrum of Keys’ professionals from the student who wants to turn their degree into a career to a CFK alumnus thinking about the next step or a community member who is great at what they do and is ready for more.
Participants are encouraged to come dressed professionally and bring copies of their résumé.
“CFK Career Connections is about more than matching résumés to job listings,” said Nicole Gerrard, CFK Executive Director of Student Success Services. “It’s about building the kind of professional relationships that last over time throughout one’s career journey.”
Space for employers is still available but limited. Employers interested in participating can request a space by emailing Nicole Gerrard, CFK Executive Director of Student Success Services, at nicole.gerrard@cfk.edu by March 27, 2026.
CFK Career Connections is free and open to the public.
