YouthBuild Greenville will host a job fair where potential employees have booths that employers can visit to gather resumes and learn more.
September 8, 2016
45 E. Main Street
Greenville, SC 29611
1:30 pm-3:30 pm
Instead of employers setting up booths and jobseekers circulating among the booths, jobseekers sit at tables with a stack of their resumes while employers circulate. The benefits are:
- Less of a financial and logistical burden on employers.
- Jobseekers are made to market themselves to the potential employer versus the tradition of employers marketing themselves to the jobseeker.
- Past Job Fair employers and jobseekers have reported that this type of event is more relaxed and is conducive to more meaningful conversation.
YouthBuild Greenville is a program that is combining GED instruction, Construction Training, work experience, long-term case management, leadership development, and placement/retention services all in the Woodside community. YouthBuild students assisted with a Habitat for Humanity Build and completed several construction-based community service projects.
For more information or to RSVP contact Ashley Mayfield, YouthBuild Case Manager at amayfield@goodwillsc.org.
