The
American Job Center encourages job seekers and employers to take part
in the Quarterly Job Fair, which will take place from 9:30 a.m.- noon,
Wednesday, July 27, in the Lake Charles Civic Center’s Exhibition Hall,
900 Lakeshore Drive.
Veterans, who will be given priority services, are asked to arrive at 9 a.m. for exclusive access to employers until 9:30 a.m.
The
job fair is a great opportunity for employers to meet face to face with
job seekers and perhaps even conduct on-site interviews.
Job
seekers are strongly encouraged to wear business attire and to bring a
picture ID and several copies of their current resume. Make sure to
arrive early to ensure the opportunity to meet with employers.
Pre-registration is not required.
The
American Job Center also needs employers to take part in the job fair.
To register, contact the American Job Center at 337-721-4010, ext. 5015.
Deadline to register is Monday, July 18. There is no cost for employers
to participate.
In
addition, the Louisiana Workforce Commission Mobile Workforce Center
will be onsite during the job fair to assist job seekers with online
application submissions, resume writing/printing, skills assessments and
more.
The American Job Center serves Allen, Beauregard, Calcasieu Cameron, Jefferson Davis and Vernon parishes.
The
job fair is sponsored by the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury, in
conjunction with the Workforce Development Board and the Louisiana
Workforce Commission. It is funded by the Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act.
