Volkswagen Chattanooga will host a job fair July 7-9 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for its open production team positions, according to the automaker.
The job fair will be at the Volkswagen Academy, 7469 Volkswagen Drive. Because of construction activities on Volkswagen Drive that week, the company is encouraging visitors to access the factory via Bonny Oaks Drive.
“There was a wonderful response to our career fair in May,” Burkhard Ulrich, vice president of human resources at Volkswagen Chattanooga, said in a news release. “We continue to see our applicant pool grow daily and have now reached the halfway mark in our goal to fill 1,000 new production positions by the end of this year. With continued interest and a second, larger career fair, we hope to reach our hiring goal ahead of schedule.”
To help manage the swell of applicants and train more new hires each week, the factory increased the size of its hiring team.
Information sessions will be held during the job fair, during which interested attendees will learn about the position, pay and schedule. Candidates who attend an information session at the job fair will be able to schedule an interview with the company for a later date.
