The Department of Juvenile Justice will make a recruiting run through 14 Georgia communities in April in search of qualified candidates for employment at DJJ secure facilities.

"We’re doing on-the-spot interviews with qualified candidates. We’re hiring jobseekers with the personal drive to become Juvenile Corrections Officers and help young offenders through their troubled life transitions."
