After the program, there will be a “talk back” during which the au- dience will have an opportunity to ask questions and share their reac- tions with the actors. This program is free to the public.

Job Fair
Agencies Join Forces To Bring Job Fair To Plant City
As a key strategy to help reduce violence, several agencies have partnered to address the hiring needs of residents in Plant City. The organizations have successfully planned a job fair to benefit those in Plant City looking for employment and the companies needing to fill vacancies.
The Nextgen Job Fair will be held on Tuesday, September 12th at the HCC Trinkle Center in Plant City. It features over 30 diverse types of positions and pre-screened applicants will be scheduled for final interviews to take place at the job fair.
The Plant City Jobs Campaign is the collaborative effort of Safe & Sound Hillsborough, the Plant City EDC, the Improvement League of Plant City and the Greater Plant City Chamber of Com- merce. Working together to provide innovative job placement serv- ices for both Plant City companies and Plant City workers.
Unlike traditional job fairs, the Plant City Hiring Fair is by in- vitation only to pre-qualified candidates. Candidates must pre-reg- ister and meet minimum qualifications for each position.
Pre-qualified job candidates will have to attend a mandatory 3- day job skills readiness training provided by a community partner. The goal is to work with community agencies to recruit highly skilled individuals that meet the hiring criteria, process them through a screening process and upon completion, pay for back- ground screens and drug tests, which may be the only contingency for hire after the interview process.
After successfully passing the screenings, the individuals would then be admitted to the hiring fair to interview with hiring man- agers for a hopeful same day hire event.
Freddy Barton, Executive Director of Safe & Sound Hillsbor- ough said this is a key strategy to make the event a success. “By doing most of the initial HR screening up front, we can hopefully have a higher chance of getting people hired as a result of the event.”
A spokesperson for the pre-registration said the deadline for this event has passed. However, anyone wanting to apply for posi- tions in the future can visit the website at www.Plantcityjobs.com.
