Virtual career fairs have become a standard way to introduce job seekers to employers and learning pathways, especially in remote and hybrid environments. Platforms like Premier Virtual offer a digital space for hosting these events, but often fall short when it comes to long-term engagement or talent development. If you’re looking for a smarter, all-in-one solution, there’s a better way.

pepelwerk, a talent development marketplace, offers Career Exploration Events—a platform that not only simplifies event management but also connects attendees to ongoing development and career opportunities long after the event ends.

What Organizations Are Really Looking For

When hosting a virtual career fair, education institutions, workforce programs and employers want more than a flashy interface. They want meaningful engagement and a system that supports participants beyond a one-time event.

Here’s what they’re really looking for:

• A virtual platform that’s easy to set up and manage.
• Tools to promote, run and evaluate career fairs effectively.
  A way to connect participants to real-world job and learning outcomes.

Go Beyond the Event with Career Exploration

With pepelwerk’s Workforce Building Module, you get more than just a virtual space—you get a complete solution that connects event participants with a long-term career pathway. Career Exploration Events powered by pepelwerk offer matching, meeting and engagement features that help users take action after the event—whether it’s enrolling in a course, applying for a job or developing new skills.

Instead of attendees logging off and disappearing, they stay connected through pepelwerk’s marketplace, allowing continuous communication and tracking.

Premier Virtual vs. Workforce Building Module

Premier Virtual is focused solely on hosting virtual events. It gives you a platform, but stops short of delivering value after the event ends. While it gets people in the door, it doesn’t support their next steps or help organizations build a talent pipeline for the future.

In contrast, pepelwerk’s Workforce Building Module is designed to host events and then carry the relationship forward. It matches participants to jobs, learning opportunities and career paths—creating real results from virtual engagement.
