ATLANTA - Wednesday afternoon, Carter's Inc. announced the opening of a new distribution center in Jackson County, expected to create 600 new jobs by 2015.
The Atlanta-based children's clothing company will fill 250 of those positions by the end of the year.
Marketing vice-president Greg Foglesong says all 600 positions are full-time, and the company expects to hire "hundreds" more seasonal workers.
"We are eager for applicants and ready to get the new facility up and staffed quickly," Foglesong said.
The center will open in Braselton this June.
Founded in Atlanta, Carter's is looking to hire both management and hourly workers. Positions range from operations and engineering to human resources. Carter's will provide training for most workers through Georgia QuickStart.
