14th Annual Southern Maryland Hiring Event Returns Bigger Than Ever on May 14, 2025

WALDORF, Md. - EntSun -- Waldorf, MD — The Tri-County Council for Southern Maryland (TCCSMD), in collaboration with the College of Southern Maryland and the Rural Maryland Council, is proud to announce the 14th Annual Southern Maryland Hiring Event will take place on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM at the College of Southern Maryland's La Plata Campus.

As federal worker layoffs continue to impact families throughout the region, this year's hiring event is more important than ever—offering timely support and pathways to employment, career services, and essential resources for those affected.

With up to 65 hiring businesses and 25 community resource partners expected, jobseekers can look forward to connecting with a wide array of industries including healthcare, public safety, skilled trades, education, DoD contractors and more. The event has historically attracted between 800 to 1,200 jobseekers, and with over 200 already registered in the first week, organizers are preparing to surpass all previous attendance records in 2025.

To further elevate the experience, this year's event features a dedicated mobile app to streamline engagement and communication. Jobseekers can upload their resumes, which will be sorted by industry and shared with employers a week before the event. The app also includes job search tips, real-time support, and direct resource connections—especially for federal employees navigating sudden job transitions.
