The DOC adds that they have also secured a waiver of the PA residency requirement for corrections officer job titles at all of the Commonwealth’s 24 state correctional institutions. This change allows the DOC to recruit prospective corrections officers from neighboring states.

Onsite interviews will be conducted on the day of the event for corrections officer trainees and anyone attending is asked to bring two forms of ID and encouraged to apply for positions before arriving at the event.
