Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport is hosting a career fair Tuesday, April 21, from 9 a.m. to noon at the GSP Airport Conference Center at 500 Aviation Parkway in Greer — giving Upstate job seekers a direct path to employment with the airlines, ground handlers, retailers, and hospitality operations that keep the region’s gateway airport running.
The event is part of South Carolina Aviation Week, the annual statewide celebration running April 19 through 25 that highlights the economic and workforce impact of the state’s aviation industry. South Carolina’s aviation sector supports more than 122,000 jobs and generates billions in economic activity, according to the South Carolina Aeronautics Commission.
The career fair brings together employers from across the airport campus, including the Greenville-Spartanburg Airport District itself, airlines, ground handlers, passenger services operations, retail tenants, and hospitality businesses. The mix of employers covers a range of skill levels and backgrounds, from entry-level customer service and baggage handling to skilled trades, security, and management roles.
GSP serves as a major regional hub for Spartanburg County, connecting the Upstate to destinations across the country and serving as an economic engine for the I-85 corridor. The airport sits in Greer, within easy reach of Spartanburg’s workforce.
The career fair is free and open to the public. Job seekers should plan to arrive at the GSP Airport Conference Center at 500 Aviation Parkway in Greer between 9 a.m. and noon on Tuesday, April 21. Parking is available in Garage C. Attendees are encouraged to bring copies of their resume and be prepared to speak with hiring representatives directly on site.
