Atlanta & Local Affairs
Goodwill Industries of Middle Georgia & the CSRA is holding its CSRA Fall 2026 Job Fair on Tuesday, October 20, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 3165 Washington Road in Augusta. Attendance is free for jobseekers, and Goodwill encourages them to register in advance through a link on its event page. It is a separate event from Goodwill Southeast Georgia’s October 13 hiring day and from the Atlanta-area job fairs covered earlier this week.
Who is expected
Goodwill says it expects “corporate, government, nonprofit, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, hospitality, and service industry employers from across Middle Georgia and the CSRA.” Employers pay $25 for a table and two chairs. The organization has not published a final employer roster; jobseekers should check the event page close to the date for participating organizations and any changes.
The event also functions as a resource fair: alongside employers, training and support organizations describe services that help people prepare for or keep a job. Goodwill’s Job Connection career centers offer free résumé help and interview preparation ahead of the event.
How to prepare
Jobseekers can make the most of a multi-employer fair by identifying the employers they most want to meet and bringing a concise work history focused on the skills those roles need. People considering a credential or career change should ask resource providers about course schedules, costs and whether local employers recognize the qualification. The announcement does not say which companies will make offers or what any position pays.
For workforce organizations, a fair makes it easier to connect applicants with several employers in one day, but the measure that matters comes later: interview invitations, offers and lasting placements, not attendance. Goodwill says that over the last five years it has placed more than 16,000 people into competitive employment across the 35 counties it serves.
Attendees should confirm parking, registration and the current employer list on the organizer’s page before traveling.
