Opportunity Inc. will sponsor a job fair Wednesday in Franklin geared to employees of the International Paper mill, which will close this year.
The job fair will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Regional Workforce Development Center at Paul D. Camp Community College, 100 N. College Drive.
Free and open to the public, it is targeted to current and former workers of International Paper and their spouses and others who think their jobs will be affected by the mill’s closure.
Robert Sharak, a spokesman for Opportunity Inc., a regional work-force agency, said he expected as many as 40 representatives of employers and educational and training programs to attend.
