Working aboard and alongside the USS Yorktown is something to be proud of.”
Job applicants who attend the career fair will have an opportunity to enter a raffle to win a Friends of the Fleet pass. Friends of the Fleet pass holders are entitled to unlimited admission for themselves and a guest for an entire year.

Patriots Point staff have the unmatched experience of working aboard a historic World War II aircraft carrier. All positions are vital to supporting the museum and its mission of preserving and educating the public about some of South Carolina's greatest assets.
