A Successful Public Safety Recruitment Fair

Public Safety - All

IMG_1107Thanks to our partnership with local agencies, the SPC Allstate Center hosted a successful Public Safety Recruitment Fair on February 9. We welcomed more than a dozen local law enforcement agencies and security employers, including recruiters from:

  •  The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office
  • The Tampa Police Department
  • The Transportation Security Administration
  • SecurAmerica LLC

. . . and many more. We were thrilled that so many of our students took advantage of this opportunity. Over 80 guests attended, including students from our law enforcement academies and EOT courses.

“This recruitment fair provided a great networking opportunity for our academies and students in degree programs,” explained Dee Mortellaro, career outreach specialist at the Allstate Center. “As we continue to host these events bi-annually, we will work to expand employment opportunities for recruits and academic students and to strengthen relationships with our community partners. For our online students, on-campus events are
a great way to engage students, meet staff and faculty face-to-face and learn about SPC resources.”

At the end of the event, the Transportation Security Administration presented SPC with an image from career fairaward for partnership. We are grateful to all the agencies for making this recruitment fair possible. Our partnership with these agencies gives our students wonderful career opportunities.

“One of our goals is to help students obtain jobs to have upon graduation and this event focused on that,” said Lauren Bley, CJ academy coordinator at SEPSI. “It is great that SPC has such a good relationship with agencies and the turnout of 15 agencies shows how much they support our students and training center.”
