Due to unforeseen circumstances, this event has been indefinitely postponed.

In an ongoing effort to share information for those who are job-seeking due to the International Paper mill shutdowns, there is a Job Fair at The Whitfield Center on Sunday 9/14 in Savannah. Details available in the flyer.
Thank you to Michael Ramsey for sharing this with me.

If anyone knows of job openings, job fairs, or other employment assistance, please feel free to share it with me.

Thanks to Mayor Karen Williams for sharing this information on this job fair! A rising tide lifts all boats.

With the closing of International Paper and so many individuals out of work, I called my contact at Regional Industry Support Enterprise (RISE) to ask if they were planning on doing a job fair. We were thinking the same thing, and she just sent me the flyer for an eight county job fair!!!

This is a two day event where municipalities, to include Pooler, local businesses, Hyundai, etc. will be in attendance to showcase the opportunities with their organizations. This is not just for Int’l Paper employees, as this event is open to all job seekers. Any business wanting to participate needs to go to the link on the flyer to register.

Thank you, RISE, for putting together this event.
