Governor’s military employment initiative hosts first of three regional summits this week
April 13, 2016
Operation Palmetto Employment (OPE), a statewide military employment initiative comprised of several state agencies and veteran service organizations, will host the first of three regional summits this Thursday, April 14 at Sysco of Columbia (131 Sysco Court, 29209). An outdoor military static display (8:15-8:45 a.m.) will precede the formal program, which runs from 9 a.m. to noon.
The OPE Midlands Summit will include cabinet agency and military installation briefs, employer success stories, roundtable discussions, and professional development sessions designed to further connect and inform private sector employers and hiring managers, employment service representatives and government officials on the true value of military hires. As a statewide partnership, OPE serves military job seekers and the employers who hire them — at no cost to either.
Upcoming events include the OPE Upstate Summit on Wednesday, May 4 at the Spartanburg Readiness Center, and the OPE Lowcountry Summit on Thursday, May 26 at Verizon Solutions Center in North Charleston.
