Vermont's first Target opens in just over two months in South Burlington and they want you on their team. The company wants to hire 150 Vermonters.

Representatives from Target are holding a job fair Aug. 17-18 at the Homewood Suites on Dorset Street in South Burlington. Interested candidates are encouraged to apply before they show up but you can still apply in person. Target says they are committed to paying their employees $15 an hour by the end of 2020 and officials say they have already seen many applicants.

"They really want to know how it's going to fit into their lifestyle. So I always tell them what it's going to look like, what are their opportunities after, so they are looking for growth and we are able to provide all of that," said Emmanuel Yeboah of Target.

The South Burlington Target is scheduled to open Oct. 21.

The job fair at the Homewood Suites is Aug. 17, 10 a.m.-6:30 p.m., and Aug. 18, 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m.
