Myrtle Beach, South Carolina -----The United States Attorney’s Office, the South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services; SC Department of Employment and Workforce; SC Works; SC Vocational Rehabilitation; SC Department of Social Services; and the US Probation Office are continuing their statewide partnership to help individuals with prior criminal backgrounds secure employment.
The Third Annual Pee Dee Reentry Job Fair & Expo will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 24, 2018, from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm at the Horry Georgetown Technical College Conference and Business Center, located at 950 Crabtree Lane, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577
This fair, which targets the Pee Dee region of the State, is one in a series of fairs held annually, including in the Low Country, the Upstate, and the Midlands. The partner organizations believe that these tailored expos, for people with a criminal background, will provide some focused help for the particular obstacles individuals face after returning home, particularly in securing employment.
The first two Pee Dee Reentry Job Fairs were hosted in Florence, South Carolina where more than 500 job seekers attended over the two years, combined. The opportunity to host this year’s fair in Myrtle Beach will expand the availability of resources to new employers and job seekers alike.
Professional dress is required. Job seekers should inquire with Marcos Barahona of the US Probation Office at Marcos_Barahona@scp.uscourts.gov or George Whitehead at (803) 734-9143, (803) 667-1258 or george.whitehead@ppp.sc.gov if they have any questions about the event. Employers should contact Kimberly Burke at kburke@dew.sc.gov or make inquiry at jdenz@dew.sc.gov. ##
