The Regional Industry Support Enterprise (RISE) will host its annual RISE Job Palooza on Wednesday, Sept. 2, from 11 a.m.-7 p.m. at Enmarket Arena.

The eight-county job fair is the Savannah region’s largest multi-county hiring event, connecting job seekers from Bryan, Bulloch, Candler, Chatham, Effingham, Evans, Liberty and Screven counties with employers actively hiring. Last year’s event featured 124 employers and attracted more than 2,400 job seekers.

Employers in manufacturing, distribution, logistics and assembly will receive priority consideration, though businesses from all industries are encouraged to apply. Sponsorship packages that include preferred registration are also available.

The event is free and open to all job seekers, with no parking fees at Enmarket Arena. The first 300 job seekers who complete a short survey will receive a meal voucher. On-site resume creation, printing and assistance will also be available through WorkSource Coastal.

Businesses interested in participating are encouraged to apply early through the Employer Participation Application HERE.

The City of Savannah and Enmarket Arena are presenting sponsors, with additional support from the Savannah Economic Development Authority.
