💼 CVS Health on Grand River: Tuesday, October 6

This is not a stroll-through job fair. It is a structured session: check-in opens at 8:45 a.m., the information session starts at 9:15 a.m., and Detroit at Work's listing says it runs two hours or longer. You hear about the openings, then fill out an application on site.

The roles cover three sides of the company. On the pharmacy and clinical side, the listing names pharmacy technicians, medical assistants and nurse practitioners. In the stores, it names store associates and shift supervisors. There are also warehouse roles. The clinical titles come with licensing and certification requirements, so write your license and certification numbers down before you go.

The session is held inside Goodwill Industries of Greater Detroit, a short drive up Grand River from downtown, where CVS and Goodwill opened a workforce training center in 2023, built around a mock store and pharmacy and aimed at people who have had a hard time breaking into steady work.

⚠️ Read This Before You Head to Grand River

The listing is blunt: late arrivals cannot be admitted. Treat 8:45 a.m. as your arrival time, not 9:15. Budget the whole morning, since the session alone runs past two hours. Dress for an interview and bring a resume. Detroit at Work has not posted an admission charge or any eligibility limits for this session.

🗺️ Career Fair at Meyers: Thursday, October 8

Two days later the setup flips. The Meyers Career Center, inside the Northwest Activities Center on Meyers Road, runs an open afternoon career fair from 1 to 4 p.m. with more than a dozen employers.

The job list is wide. Detroit at Work names behavioral technicians, child care assistants and preschool teachers, engineers and mechanics, customer service and security guards, project managers, ramp agents and tow truck drivers. Ramp agents load baggage and cargo for airlines, a steady way into airport work at DTW. The full employer roster has not been published, so check the Detroit at Work events calendar the week of the fair.

Same building, different week: the Michigan State Police hold their trooper hiring event at this address on October 1. Different event, different day, different requirements.

🔎 Where to Aim This Week

Doing both is realistic: CVS for pharmacy, clinic or store management, Meyers for the widest mix of employers in one afternoon.
