Contractors, tradespeople, and construction professionals can connect with project leaders and explore employment and apprenticeship opportunities at a job fair Thursday at Camping World Stadium. The event runs from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Varsity Club, 1 Citrus Bowl Place.
The job fair follows the kickoff this week of a $400 million “reimagination” project at the stadium’s north end, funded entirely by the Orange County Tourist Development Tax. The project marks the final phase of nearly two decades of improvements and includes expanding permanent seating from 62,000 to 65,000, redesigning the exterior facade, adding new concessions, restaurants, and a terrace level, and modernizing internal systems and infrastructure.
Officials estimate the project will require 1,500 workers, with up to 400 on-site at peak construction. City leaders said the timeline is aggressive ahead of the 2027 NFL season, when the Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to play their full home schedule in Orlando.
“This is a key opportunity for construction firms and skilled trades to join a high-profile, fast-moving project,” a project spokesperson said.
