MCRD/ERR PARRIS ISLAND, S.C. -- Ninety-eight employers and colleges took part in the fifth annual Career and Education Fair at the Depot Lyceum Tuesday.Employers ranging from law enforcement to NASCAR and colleges from the University of Phoenix to the Savannah College of Art and Design were on hand to talk to potential employees and students."This is the fifth year we have done this, and this is the biggest one yet," said Kerry Copeland, program assistant for the Depot's Career Resource Management Center. "The first year we had forty-five booths, now we have ninety-eight." Marines, sailors and their family members had the opportunity to talk to a wide variety of employers about different jobs locally and nationwide. According to Copeland, companies want to hire Marines."I'm looking for quality Marine Corps trained job skills," said Harold Holden, a recruiter for Aerospace Technical Services Group. Holden knows what Marines can offer to the work force; he retired from the Marine Corps last year and used the skills he learned in the Marine Corps to get his current job."My recruiting experience helped me to get this job," added Holden.The fair is designed for those that have spent four years in the Marine Corps or for those who are about to retire after a long career."I go on terminal leave Monday and just wanted to look for potential job offers," said Gunnery Sgt. David Scott, staff noncommissioned officer-in-charge of the Tax Center, who is about to etire. "I was especially interested in the law enforcement [booths]."Law enforcement booths definitely dominated the fair and according to Copeland, that isn't a coincidence."Law enforcement [agencies] jump to be here," said Copeland.Law enforcement booths included the Federal Bureau of Investigations, the U.S. Border Patrol, the Secret Service and police departments from Texas, Florida, Missouri, New York City and local departments."Marines are the most disciplined of the armed services and that is needed to get through law enforcement training," said Alexander Kitsakos, a New York City Police Department recruiter, when asked about law enforcement looking to hire Marines. "Law enforcement is a lot like the military, there is a chain of command and attention to orders to important. That makes it easy for Marines to transition into law enforcement."Plenty of local businesses were also on hand to offer jobs to family members of Marines and sailors stationed in the area. "We are looking for motivated people," said Kasandra Hearron , a member's service representative for Navy Federal Credit Union. While not everyone may have walked away with a job, the Career and Education Fair did provide a wealth of information on jobs and education that will better prepare service members and their families for life after the military.
