HUGHESVILLE, Md. — The Tri-County Council for Southern Maryland (TCCSMD) is pleased to announce the date for the region’s largest job fair, the 12th Annual “#TCCSMDGetHired” Hiring Event on August 23, 2023, at the Mechanicsville Volunteer Fire Department. New this year, the 1st Annual Family Resource Day will be featured, connecting families with important community resources. This joint event will connect Southern Maryland residents to career opportunities, assist local businesses in finding talent, and help meet the needs of our community on a holistic level.
“As the demand for a skilled workforce continues to negatively impact our local businesses, hiring events are critical,” says Ruthy Davis, TCCSMD Director of Regional Workforce and Business Development. “We’re thrilled to connect businesses with qualified jobseekers and offer attendees resources.”
The hiring event will be held inside the Mechanicsville Volunteer Fire Department on August 23 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. and will feature local Southern Maryland businesses seeking candidates for their current job openings. Standard business registration is $150 with sponsor packages available.

This event will feature representatives from various organizations throughout the tri-county area ready to meet residents with information about resources such as free job training, work-ready activities such as resume assistance, interview preparation, housing and food bank information, connections for justice involved citizens and more.
This is a family friendly event which will include free food, back-to-school backpacks, haircuts, children’s games, moon bounce, face painting, and more. Community resource organizations will receive a complimentary table for the event by registering on the business registration link https://bit.ly/2023HiringEventBusinessRegistration.
