Recent Job Fair Hailed as a Success
By Charlie Bauder, WNEG Radio, Toccoa
Last Friday’s job fair on the Currahee Campus of North Georgia Technical College is being hailed as a success.
The fair drew hundreds of job seekers who came hoping to land that next position with one of 60 potential employers.
Each year, the Georgia Department Of Labor’s Toccoa Career Center puts on the event. Toccoa Career Center Manager Greg Pitts says Friday’s job fair was a great day for everyone involved.
The event Friday also included workshops to help people with certain aspects of the job search process.
Pitt said it’s that kind of local support from employers and employment resource groups that help make the annual job fair a success.
Friday’s job fair was preceded a week earlier with a daylong seminar of work shops at Lavonia First Baptist Church designed to help job candidates put their best foot forward when searching for work.
