MARION COUNTY, SC

During our job fair on Saturday, I stopped by each employer's table to ask them about their feelings regarding the applicants who visited their tables; We are happy to report all responses were very positive. In fact, based upon the applications received, some mentioned they would hire if applicants passed their background check! The overall goal for this event was to provide job seekers with opportunities to apply for jobs with 22 different employers, all in one location.

All participants were very mindful of the importance of wearing masks, etc... We provided masks to those who needed them as well as hand sanitizer... I will share links to some pictures, videos of jobseekers' testimonies, and conversations with employers a little later today. However, while I was browsing around from table to table, I spotted the flyer below on the SC Works table. Thanks, Dianne Herrington for sharing this much-needed information! This information could change the lives of some of our citizens!
