DETROIT
- The
City of
Detroit
will be
holding
two job
fairs on
February
15 and
March 8
to fill
205
seasonal
employment
positions
in both
the
General
Services
Department
and the
Recreation
Department.
The jobs
include
park
maintenance
workers
who will
help to
keep the
city’s
network
of
neighborhood
parks
looking
good, as
well as
vehicle
operators
and
recreation
“play
leaders.”
The
positions
range in
skill
level as
well as
qualification
requirements,
but the
city is
making
sure
positions
are
available
to
returning
citizens
and
those
with
other
barriers
to
employment.
“These
are very
desirable
seasonal
positions
that
provide
many
workers
the
opportunity
to work
outdoors
during
the
spring
and
summer,”
said GSD
Director
Brad
Dick.
“For the
park
maintenance
position,
we are
waiving
the GED

but may
have
difficulty
finding
someone
to hire
them.”
