Considering that the millennial unemployment rate stands at 12.8% (compared to the national average of 4.9%) comprehensive training and access to companies seeking employees is a must for the future economic stability of our region. The BUSINESS EXPO AND EMPLOYMENT FAIR hopes to address these needs through its Saturday August 5th, 2017 event. The expo will last from 9am-6pm and will take place at the Florence Civic Center located at 3300 West Radio Drive in Florence, SC. The BUSINESS EXPO AND EMPLOYMENT FAIR is free and open to the public. Local and national corporations will be present and actively recruiting potential candidates. Keynote speakers addressing marketing, IT solutions, and networking for small businesses will also be highlighted. Participants will also enjoy a variety of entertainers, fashion and shopping from various merchants.
