MILLEDGEVILLE, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – The Georgia Department of Corrections is looking to fill positions at several Middle Georgia state prisons.

Tuesday from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m., GDC hosted a hiring event at Central Georgia Technical College.

The event allowed candidates to complete onsite interviews, a physical test, and a knowledge test.

Tracey Stone, a GDC human resources professional says even though the events aren’t jam-packed with applicants, the event still serves a purpose.
