Job fair and training expo Friday

Help will be available Friday at the Pendleton campus of Tri-County Tech for the unemployed and under-employed. A job fair and training expo arranged by the college and local SC Works Centers will run 9 a-m to noon in the Industrial and Business Development Center. Participants get the chance to meet and interview with area employers and find out about short-term training options in the fields of health care, business, heavy equipment operator, industrial/manufacturing and truck driving. “This is an easy way for job seekers to talk with potential employers about their career choices and to take the first steps toward a new career path,” said Rick Cothran, dean of Tri-County’s Community Education Division.
