Looking for a job in DeKalb County? Mark your calendars for a significant job fair next Thursday. Taking place at Georgia Piedmont Technical College, located at 495 N. Indian Creek Drive, Clarkston, GA, the event runs from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The county's Office of the CEO has announced the event as part of a strategic push toward workforce development, aiming to fill more than 500 positions in various sectors.
"This job fair is one of the ways we’re re-imagining DeKalb," said Cochran-Johnson. The fair isn't just about the numbers; it's positioned as a gateway for residents – including those affected by federal layoffs such as recent cuts at the CDC and VA – to step into new roles across public service, healthcare, and technical fields, as per DeKalb County's release.
Notably, the job fair will focus on filling critical public safety roles with 250 vacancies for police, fire, and emergency services personnel. But opportunities don't stop there; positions range from engineering and sanitation to customer service and public health. County representatives will be prepared to conduct on-site interviews, and for the promising candidates, there may be the chance of same-day job offers.
It's not just DeKalb County departments that job seekers can expect to meet. Grady Memorial Hospital, Emory University, and the Georgia Department of Public Health will also attend, bringing with them an array of healthcare and public health opportunities. This extensive job fair welcomes all, conveying the county’s dedication to fostering a dynamic, diverse, and inclusive workforce.
DeKalb County's careers page spotlights a work environment built on collaboration, teamwork, and achievement. For those interested, the job fair is a free event and open to the public, though registration is encouraged. Visit the DeKalb County Job Fair Registration Page for more information or to register.
