Community events have proven to be great places for Pleasant Valley State Prison (PVSP) recruiters to share CDCR employment opportunities.
The Clovis Chamber of Commerce kicks of rodeo month the first weekend of April with their annual Big Hat Days event in Clovis. This is the largest two-day festival in Central California with thousands of visitors filling the streets of Old Town to enjoy hundreds of craft and food booths.
For 87 years, Big Hat Days has served as a community showcase and a tribute to our western heritage and small-town character. According to PVSP recruiters, it was another successful event with a great turnout.
We have so many interested prospective applicants and received positive feedback.

Another successful event proved to be the Kern County Career and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) Expo.
The career awareness event is geared toward students and employers of Kern to help build tomorrow’s workforce. Employers from Kern County promoted different career opportunities available within their companies through an interactive booth.
Middle school, junior high and high school students attended the event to learn more about the different career paths available to them in the community.
Interested Correctional Officer applicants can apply online at JoinCDCR.com.
