Keeneland is preparing for its 2019 Fall Meet, to be held Oct. 4-26, by conducting a Hiring Center and Job Fair in September to recruit more than 2,000 seasonal workers. On-site interviews for all positions will be conducted at the Hiring Center, which opens Tuesday, Sept. 3, and the Job Fair Saturday, Sept. 21. Staffing offers a variety of opportunities, including Keeneland Hospitality's food and beverage services, Parking and Security, The Keeneland Shop, Admissions, Programs, Track Maintenance and Guest Services.
Seasonal employees are key members of the Keeneland team, and they travel from near and far to work at the historic track. During the Spring Meet in April, Keeneland staff represented 28 states, some as far away as Arizona, and 107 Kentucky cities.
“We are pleased to welcome many talented people to the Keeneland team through these seasonal opportunities,” Keeneland President and Chief Executive Officer Bill Thomason said. “Many of them return meet after meet and take particular pride in their roles. Keeneland's average seasonal team member has been a part of at least six consecutive race meets, and more than 10 percent of our employees have 15 or more years of service. In fact, 55 team members have been with us 35 years or more–our longest tenured seasonal employee has been part of the fun for 42 years.”
