The job fair is open to all job seekers, particularly International Paper and DS Smith employees. There are no parking fees at the arena.

The first 300 job seekers each day will receive a voucher good for a meal that day at Enmarket Arena. To receive, job seekers will need to complete a short survey.

“Job Palooza provides an important opportunity to connect all job seekers across our region, including those impacted by International Paper’s recent announcement regarding the closure of the Savannah and Riceboro plants,” said RISE President and CEO Anna Chafin.

Chafin added, “Our goal is to support these individuals during this transition by connecting them with new opportunities and helping them continue to build strong futures here in our region.”
