DeKalb County CEO Lorraine Cochran-Johnson announced the hiring event on Wednesday, emphasizing its importance as part of her administration’s commitment to reshaping the county’s future. “This job fair is one of the ways we’re re-imagining DeKalb,” she said. “It is one of the ways we are investing in people and helping them thrive.”
