Jim Beatty, founder and organizer of the African American Golf EXPO and Forum announced that Make Golf Your Career representing the employment opportunities in the golf industry will be a featured exhibitor at the 4th Annual African American Golf EXPO & Forum, August 23-27, Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
“We are thrilled to bring Make Golf Your Career to the 4th Annual African American Expo! The golf industry is united in its vision for our workforce to reflect the demographics of America. The expo will be a wonderful opportunity for golf industry leaders to connect with prospective talent and illuminate the pathways into the business of golf.” Sandy Cross, Chief People Officer for the PGA of America
Jim Beatty also stated, “I am pleased that Make Golf Your Career will be joining the Expo. Having a job and career initiative focused on opportunities in the golf industry offers Expo attendees a great pathway to pursue possibilities. This will also serve to reinforce that a person does not have to be a golfer to work in the $102B golf industry which has 1.7 million jobs. One of every 200 jobs in America is impacted by the golf industry. I encourage job seekers to come and visit with the Make Golf Your Career representatives and pursue the many job opportunities. There is no cost to attend their exhibit. The EXPO is excited and encouraged to have their involvement”
