On Wednesday, June 12, the city of Jackson hosts the Jackson Utility Management Project Jobs Fair from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Metrocenter Mall. The fair includes vendors specializing in the information technology and construction fields.
“The City recently signed a $90 million contract with Siemens to make major upgrades to the city’s water and sewer system,” Mayor Harvey Johnson Jr. said in a release. “This is perhaps the largest single public-works project in Jackson’s history, and Jackson residents should be hired to make these upgrades. This Jobs Fair will provide opportunities for Jacksonians to be hired for these jobs, and we appreciate all the businesses for participating.”
As of Monday, June 3, the Jackson Utility Management Project Jobs Fair vendors include:
• Siemens • Garrett Enterprises Consolidated Inc. • iVision IT Consultants • Brilliant Minds Public Relations • M.A.C. Construction • Pedal Valve Inc. • U.S. Consolidated • TBI Incorporated • Service Contractors Inc.
The job fair is free and open to the public. For more information, call Jobs for Jacksonians Coordinator Jonathan Barnett at 601-960-0377.
This event is part of the mayor’s Jobs for Jacksonians Initiative, a program designed to bolster job opportunities for citizens of the Capital City. The City launched its Jobs for Jacksonians Hotline where Jackson citizens can call 601-961-4JOB to place their information on a jobs registry that is shared with potential employers, city job programs and companies who do business with the city of Jackson. The initiative ultimately seeks to decrease the number of unemployed citizens within the city of Jackson.
