Employment fairs in Puebla, Mexico

In October 2026, the state and municipal governments of Puebla organized large-scale employment initiatives to promote formal labor inclusion.

On October 13, the state government hosted the National Employment Fair for Vulnerable Groups at the Museo del Ejército y Fuerza Aérea Mexicanos. This event targeted specific demographics, including female heads of household, people with disabilities, senior citizens, migrants, and the LGBTQ+ community. The fair offered 1,219 vacancies with salaries ranging from 9,583 to 40,000 pesos, supported by 27 participating companies and various social service providers.

Later in the month, Mayor Pepe Chedraui inaugurated the 9th ‘Capital Imparable’ Job Fair. This municipal initiative, coordinated with DIF Puebla Capital, the Municipal Youth Institute, and the Secretary of Economy and Tourism, featured over 6,000 job openings from 60 companies. The fair focused on providing formal benefits and expanding development opportunities for residents, particularly youth, senior citizens, and people with disabilities.

Available positions spanned sectors such as retail, hospitality, supermarkets, and government roles within the municipal, state, and National Guard forces. Salaries for these roles ranged from 9,000 to 45,000 pesos. Local business leaders, including the president of the Business Coordinating Council, noted the importance of the collaboration between the public and private sectors in facilitating labor market access.
