INDIANAPOLIS — Looking to get a foot in the door in the airport security field?
If so, the Indianapolis International Airport has an event coming up later this week that might interest you.
This Friday and Saturday, the airport is hosting a hiring fair for Transportation Security Officers. Attendees can learn about what's involved in the position and will have the chance to complete parts of the hiring process on-site.
