TCTC hosting Veterans’ Educational and Entrepreneurship Resources Fair

Tri-County Technical College is partnering with U.S. Senator Tim Scott’s office to host an event designed to prepare veterans for upcoming job fairs in the area. The Veterans’ Educational and Entrepreneurship Resources Fair will be held Monday, March 16, from 9:30am to 1:30pm at Tri-County Technical College’s Anderson Campus at 511 Michelin Boulevard. The event is free to all veterans and their families. Attendees are encouraged to bring copies of their current resumes or a list of work experience. A variety of vendors, including area human resource professionals, will be on hand. There will be two panel discussions, at 10am led by Tri-County staff, who will discuss educational opportunities like how to enroll in and pay for college. The second is set for 11am and hosted by Sen. Scott’s office, addresses entrepreneurial opportunities. Participants will be able to take career assessment tests to help with career choices and Tri-County’s Career Services office will critique resumes. “This is a good chance to learn about Tri-County’s program offerings or to make plans for future careers. It’s great to partner with Senator Scott on an event that specifically reaches our veterans,” said the College’s Disabilities Coordinator Stephanie Winkler, who worked to create Patriots’ Place, a veteran’s center that serves as a resource center and a place for student veterans to study, have meetings and socialize with each other. Registration is at 9:30am and there is no need to RSVP.
