MIAMI — The Florida Department of Corrections partnered with the Florida National Guard to hire veterans and military personnel who are unemployed.
These specialty hiring events last all day and are open to all branches in the Florida National Guard and Reserves. McKinley Lewis, Press Secretary for the DOC, said there have been seven different events to date in seven different counties ranging from Escambia all the way down to Palm Beach.
“We’re always looking to bring exceptionally qualified staff in to work for the department, and National Guard members—as well as veterans—have that skill set from their military experience that allows them to transition over to the Department of Corrections very well,” Lewis said.
