Georgia Department of Labor schedules youth job fair in Lithonia
ATLANTA State Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond said today that the Georgia Department of Labor's DeKalb Career Center will sponsor a youth job fair in Lithonia on Thursday, April 10.
The job fair will be held from 2-6 p.m. at the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, located at 6400 Woodrow Rd. in Lithonia. The event is especially designed for DeKalb and Rockdale County youth 16-20 years old.
"This event marks the tenth year that the DeKalb Career Center has sponsored the annual youth job fair for students in the area," said Commissioner Thurmond. "And this is the second year the job fair has been held at the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church. This job fair is designed to bring employers and organizations in the area together with the youth who are looking for jobs or career guidance. Job seekers will receive cutting edge information on job search, career planning, and other valuable services to help them reach their full workplace potential. I encourage the employers and youth in the area to participate again this year, so that this event will be just as successful as all the others have been."
The job fair is expected to feature employers that will be hiring to fill current job openings. In addition, other employers will be discussing possible future employment opportunities with the job seekers, while other organizations will be providing educational and other resources. Applicants should bring plenty of resumes and be prepared to fill out company applications and interview for available job openings.
Employers expected to participate in the youth job fair include: the City of Atlanta, Georgia National Guard, H&R Block, Job Corps, McDonald's, Resource Manufacturing, S.S. and Company Water Fitness, and WAMU Bank.
Job seekers or employers who would like additional information about the youth job fair may contact the DeKalb Career Center at (404) 298-3970.
