I understand that many jobs have security requirements. What is a TWIC and do I need one to work at the port?
TWIC stands for Transportation Worker Identification Credential and is a common federal identification credential for all personnel requiring regular, unescorted access to secure areas of port facilities, which fall under U.S. Department of Homeland Security regulations.
Not all positions posted at JAXPORTjobs.com will require you to have a TWIC, but many do. The individual employer will be able to offer this information to you at the appropriate time in the process.
