Griffin area job fair/career expo scheduled
ATLANTA State Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond said today that the Georgia Department of Labor's Griffin Career Center and Griffin Area Employer Committee will sponsor a job fair/career expo for veterans and other job seekers in the area.
Commissioner Thurmond said, "I strongly urge Griffin area employers to give returning veterans full consideration as they seek to fill vacancies or upgrade their workforce. During their service to our country, these brave men and women have learned valuable job skills that can be easily adapted to jobs in the civilian workplace. And, this job fair and career expo will provide an excellent opportunity for employers to come together with Griffin area job seekers who have military experience."
The job fair/career expo will be held Tuesday, Aug. 22, from 1-5 p.m. at the Georgia National Guard Armory, 1015 South Hill St. in Griffin. The primary focus of the event will be returning veterans and laid-off workers at Cooper Standard Automotive Company. Representatives of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), American Legion, and Veteran Services will be available to assist veterans with their educational and health benefit needs. The job fair/career expo is expected to feature about 50 employers. Representatives from area businesses will be on hand to interview job applicants and discuss possible employment opportunities with their companies. Applicants should bring information on their work history, current resumes, and dress appropriately.
Employers expected to participate include: A Premium Healthcare Solutions, Advanced Technology Services, American Woodmark, Angelyn Staffing, Athens-Clarke County Government, Bombardier, Career Resource Center, Charter Communications, Cherokee County, Cities of Griffin, LaGrange, and Macon, Clear Point Resources, ETI Career Institute, Express Professional Services, Georgia Crown Distribution, Griffin Tech, Griffin-Spalding County schools and government, Hammond Services, Heritage Inn of Barnesville, Invision Human Resources, Medical Center of Central Georgia, Personnel Options, Randstad, Right-From-TheStart Medicaid, Ryder Logistics, Safeway Contractors, Southern States, Springs Global, Star Packaging, Teach Georgia, Toto Industries, U.S. Army, Marines, and Navy, U.
