Community Expo to provide training, education, and employment resources

Citizens searching for additional education, job training or employment to improve their chances of obtaining and keeping stable employment can mark their calendars for Thursday, August 8, 2019.

More than 40 employers, service providers and educational institutions are collaborating with Fulton County WorkSource to prepare and train eligible and enthusiastic individuals who are ready to begin new careers with new opportunities for growth.

Participating higher education institutions include among others Atlanta Technical College, Atlanta Metropolitan State College, Clayton State University, Fortis College, Georgia State University, and Gwinnett Technical College of Adult Education. Educational advisors from the participating education institutions and WorkSource Fulton staff will be available to discuss potential WIOA training and employment for eligible individuals.

For those seeking employment, participating employers include but are not limited to Amazon, UPS, Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT), the U.S. Census Bureau, FedEx Ground, Chase Bank and Juma Ventures. Juma Ventures is also a collaborative partner with the Fulton County Department of Community Development to assist youth in gaining job training, financial literacy and planning for higher education.

Participants should bring their resumes, dress for success and be prepared to discuss their training and education needs and their career goals.
