THOMASVILLE —
Thursday’s job fair at Southwest Georgia Technical College is expected to be the largest ever.
The 11th annual event, sponsored jointly by SWGTC, the Georgia Department of Labor, Thomasville and Cairo Career Centers, Thomas and Grady County Employer Committees, Thomasville-Thomas County and Cairo-Grady County chambers of commerce, The Thomasville Times-Enterprise, The Cairo Messenger and radio station WGRA is scheduled for Thursday at SWGTC’s main campus in Thomasville from 9 a.m.-noon.
The event offers employers and job-seekers an opportunity to meet and discuss employment options for the area. Those seeking employment may apply for full- and part-time positions with participating employers. More than 70 businesses and resources are expected to participate Among the expected employers are Archbold Memorial Hospital, Florida State University, New Hire Solutions, Thomasville City Schools, Lowe’s and many more.
“This is an excellent opportunity to pair employers seeking well-qualified applicants with highly skilled individuals looking not only for a job, but for a career opportunity to utilize their education, skills and strong work ethics. It’s a win-win for the community and for local industry. This year we have more employers and resources already committed to attend than we have ever had. I believe this is an indicator that the economy is building and that employers feel it is safe to enlarge their workforce. This job fair is the venue to make that happen,” Dr. Jeanine Long, director of Career Placement and Development at SWGTC.
The public is cordially invited to attend this event. Job-seekers are asked to dress in business attire and bring resumes with them. More information may be obtained by calling Cindy Wooten at the Thomasville Career Center at 225-4033 or Long at SWGTC at 227-2668.
