LIBERTY- After announcing the closure of the Sullivan County Adult Care Center earlier this month, officials in Sullivan County are holding a job fair on September 1 to help assist the employees slated to lose their jobs find new employment. A total of 86 county employees are slated to be laid off as a result of the announced closure approved by the County Legislature.
“Care Center staff are working tirelessly to find new homes for residents under their care, and we want to be sure to find new employment opportunities for them when their jobs are complete,” said county manager Josh Potosek. “They have talents and skills that are in high demand across the region, as evidenced by the number of potential employers who’ve already signed up to be at the job fair.”
The event, hosted by the county’s Center for Workforce Development, is not open to the public and is exclusively for county employees slated for layoff who work at the care center.
“The County and these employers want to give our dedicated staff every chance to continue working, living and raising a family locally, and we’ll be encouraging all 86 County employees at the Care Center to talk to us on Tuesday. We can also help them in advance with their resumes,” said Community Resources Commissioner Laura Quigley, who oversees the Center for Workforce Development.
