What makes Bryan County unique?
Named for American Revolutionary War partisan, Jonathan Bryan, Bryan County, Georgia was created on December 19, 1793. Bryan County is unique in that one-third of the community is occupied by Fort Stewart, the largest Army installation east of the Mississippi River and home of the 3rd Infantry Division. Bryan County is perfect for those looking for the best of both worlds. The north end of the county has a quiet, small town feel, and the south end keeps growing with numerous new businesses and residential development.

How is the military presence beneficial to companies entering Bryan County?
Every month, there are a number of soldiers exiting the military. They are cross-trained and computer literate with an excellent work ethic. This means the labor pool is not only steady, but also advanced.

Are there any programs that help with their transition into the traditional workforce?

Life skills training includes job search, resume writing, career guidance, and benefits use and negotiation skills relevant to a successful transition to civilian life.
