FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

2024 CAREER FAIR & JOB EXPO OFFERS OPPORTUNITIES TO CONNECT BUSINESSES WITH DEKALB COUNTY STUDENTS 

Lithonia, Georgia – March 27, 2024 – Making face-to-face connections still matters! The Dekalb County School District proudly announces the 2024 Career Fair & Job Expo, hosted by its esteemed partner, The Leadership Team USA (TLTUSA), to be held at Stronghold Church in Lithonia, Georgia.

Scheduled for Wednesday, March 27, 2024, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., this event promises an enriching opportunity for employers and graduating high school seniors to engage directly. The five-hour event runs from 9:00 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Stronghold Church Gymnasium, 724 Rock Chapel Road, Lithonia, Georgia 30058.

The event will give the business community and graduating high school seniors an opportunity to meet and connect face-to-face. “It is essential that businesses and young jobseekers have an opportunity to meet face to face and converse with each other. Today much of the hiring process is limited to online and this takes the personal touch out of it and eliminates the opportunity to really connect,” says Courtney Dillard, President of The Leadership Team USA.

Dekalb County School District Superintendent, Dr. Devon Horton said, “It is imperative that our scholars are given every opportunity to network with workforce leaders in-person so that, upon graduation, they have a better chance of beginning their careers.”

The 2024 Dekalb County School District Career Fair & Job Expo will be set up in the gymnasium of Stronghold. There will be areas set up for businesses to conduct onsite interviews. The event is open to any business that would like to attend. If you are a business wanting to connect with young jobseekers, send an email to courtneydillard.leader@gmail.com. Students may register at www.tltusa.org/jobexpo.

Among the anticipated businesses in attendance are Cargill Corporation (careers.cargill.com), Strack, Inc. (Strackinc.com/careers/), WorkSource Dekalb, US Army, US Navy and many more.
