The Middle Georgia Recruitment and Job Readiness Event next week in Macon will provide excellent employment opportunities in the manufacturing and logistics industries.  

The event will be held Friday, Nov. 13, from 1-5 p.m. in the Professional Sciences Conference Center at Middle Georgia State University located at 100 University Parkway. 

The event is co-sponsored by the Georgia Department of Economic Development’s Workforce Division, Georgia Department of Labor (GDOL), Middle Georgia Consortium, Inc. and Middle Georgia Regional Commission. 

Orientation sessions will begin at 1 p.m. and repeat every 30 minutes. 

Jobseekers attending the event are urged to participate in two 45-minute job readiness workshops on resume writing and job interviewing prior to talking with employers. While attendees are not required to attend a job readiness session, the sponsors are providing the workshops to help jobseekers make a more favorable impression when talking with potential employers.

Job seekers will be able to develop and print resumes and have them reviewed by experts. Job seekers bringing their own resumes to the event may also have them reviewed by the experts before they meet with employers. 

Information will be available about on-the-job (OJT) training, the federal Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program and various apprenticeship programs. 

Several employers from the logistics and manufacturing industries will be on hand to discuss available employment opportunities. A complete list of participating employers will be released closer to the date of the event and will be available online at www.dol.georgia.gov. 

Attendees are encouraged to dress in business casual attire, and to bring a pen or pencil and paper. For more information about the event, or employers wanting to participate, email [email protected].
