Several local employers will be present to conduct interviews and accept applications for full-time, part-time, and summer positions. Representatives from local universities, colleges, and post-secondary institutions will also be on hand to answer questions about specific curricula that will prepare them for jobs in high-demand occupations.
Those planning to attend should dress professionally for interviews and bring copies of their resumes.
The Calcasieu Parish Police Jury, the Workforce Development Board (WDB), and the Louisiana Workforce Commission are sponsoring the Youth Training Fair, which is funded by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA).
