Port of San Diego Welcomes Job Seekers to People of the Port Career Fair on March 25

The Port of San Diego is hosting the fourth annual People of the Port Career Fair at the Port Pavilion on Broadway Pier on March 25, 2026.

The goal of the career fair is to help attendees explore the vast career opportunities available along the waterfront and across the San Diego region. At the career fair, attendees can meet with representatives from participating companies that are recruiting for current or upcoming job openings in a variety of industries including hospitality, maritime, food service and more.

The event will also feature optional breakout sessions for attendees to learn more about different industries, such as maritime or hospitality, and to learn helpful tips for how to apply for a government job. For students interested in attending, Port staff will also share information about the Port's paid internship program, designed to provide undergraduate and graduate students with on-the-job experience in their area of study.

Volunteers will be available to support individuals who may feel more comfortable speaking a non-English language and American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters will also be onsite.
