Georgia Department of Labor schedules veterans job fair in Americus
ATLANTA State Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond said today that the Georgia Department of Labor's Americus Career Center and the American Legion will co-sponsor a job fair in Americus for employers, veterans, personnel recently separated from active duty, and other job seekers in the area.
The event will be held Thursday, June 12, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the American Legion Post 558, located at 116 Georgia Highway 30 West in Americus.
Commissioner Thurmond said, "This job fair is designed to bring employers and organizations in the Americus area together with veterans and other job seekers who are looking for employment 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."
The event will feature about 20 employers who 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.
Among the employers expected to participate in the event include: Apollo Health Street, Cessna Aircraft, Columbus Fire and Emergency Service and Police Department, Covenant Transport, Department of Juvenile Justice, Georgia Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Police Department, Northrup Grumman, Timco, Tolleson Lumber, Verizon, Wachovia, and the U.S. Army and Border Patrol.
