Recruitment events

by HR Recruitment Coordinator Jordan Hughes

Each spring, we attend various school programs across the state to educate students about careers with the South Carolina Forestry Commission. Engaging with students before they graduate allows us to introduce new forestry career paths, build strong relationships within the school and community and strengthen our future workforce development efforts.

Already this year, the agency has presented at:

  • North Central High School, Kershaw County
  • Latta High School, Dillon County
  • Dorchester County Career & Technology Center, Dorchester County
  • New Heights Middle School, Chesterfield County
  • Webb Wildlife Center, Hampton County
