Southeastern Technical College Presents
Greater Vidalia® Employment Fair 2021
From Pandemic to Prosperity - Bridging Talent with Opportunity
Governor Brian P. Kemp and Georgia Department of Labor Commissioner Mark Butler recently announced Georgia’s plan for reemployment and economic recovery. To address workforce shortages and boost a full economic recovery, state labor officials plan to end Georgia’s participation in federal pandemic unemployment programs, effective Saturday, June 26, 2021.
Georgia will no longer participate in the following federal programs:
- Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC)
- Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA)
- Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC)
- Mixed Earner Unemployment Compensation (MEUC)
Once Georgia opts out of the federal programs, the Department of Labor (GDOL) will continue offering regular state unemployment insurance benefits to eligible Georgians. The maximum weekly benefit in the state is $365.
Please join us for the Greater Vidalia® Employment Fair 2021. Help boost reemployment and economic recovery in our community. Take this opportunity to visit with motivated job seekers and graduates eager to discuss employment opportunities and career possibilities.
Southeastern Technical College plays a vital role in career training and workforce development. The Toombs County Development Authority and Greater Vidalia® Chamber support the business needs of the local employers. We are teaming up to provide you an opportunity to connect with local talent.
