Volvo Cars - Ridgeville Campus

In partnership with SC Works Trident, Volvo will host local job seekers for an immersive career fair, ‘The Volvo Experience,’ at its Ridgeville plant, located at 270 Three Point Drive. The event will take place in the Volvo Car University building from 10 am to 4 pm on Tuesday, May 16th.  Co-hosted by additional partners readySC and the South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce, the upcoming event will invite prospective employees to learn about the company’s operations and culture first-hand as it seeks to add 1,300 employees to its current South Carolina workforce. During the event, attendees will have a chance to speak directly with Volvo Car Ambassadors, practice manufacturing skills through interactive games, learn about the products manufactured on-site and more. In addition, jobseekers will be invited to complete online employment applications with the help of SCWorks Trident and readySC staff. The SC Works Career Coach and Express Vans will be available to provide internet access. As event space is limited, pre-registration is required to attend. Those interested can complete pre-registration and select a time slot here. SC Works Trident Workforce Development Director Sharon Goss said, “Volvo’s upcoming event promises to be an immersive hiring experience unlike any our region has seen in recent years. We’re thrilled to be partnering with them to help make it happen, and encourage anyone interested in joining the team to come out and see first-hand what Volvo is all about.” Volvo Head of Communications and Community Relations Katherine Bergmann said, “As we look to hire 1,300 team members, it is especially important for potential team members to get to know us and get a feel for the amazing things that are happening at our plant right here in Ridgeville. This event will allow candidates to not only meet with our team, but receive guidance during the application process, thanks to the support of SCWorks and readySC.” Those in need of assistance with meeting pre-hire qualifications are encouraged to reach out to their local SC Works center by visiting www.scworkstrident.org.
