Nearly 100 of the region’s top employers will be on hand to screen job candidates at the Lafayette Economic Development Authority’s annual Job Fair at 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Tuesday at the Cajundome Convention Center.
Now in its 29th year, the LEDA Job Fair is the largest job recruitment event in Acadiana. Since its inception, hundreds of Acadiana’s top employers have successfully recruited job candidates at the one-day event.
The E-Application Station and mobile unit, sponsored by the Louisiana Workforce Commission- American Job Center and Acadiana Workforce Solutions, will be available allowing job seekers to apply for positions available at participating companies, in addition to searching and applying for thousands of additional jobs in the region and throughout the state.
The event is free for job seekers, who should dress professionally and bring copies of their resumes. Visit lafayette.org/LEDAjobfair for the latest job fair updates and list of participating employers.
“The LEDA Job Fair is an excellent opportunity to meet face to face with hiring managers from multiple employers all on one day and in one place,” says Ryan LaGrange, LEDA Director of Workforce Development. “Every year, we hear success stories following the job fair from both job seekers and employers. This event continues to have a tremendous impact on the community, assisting both job seekers and businesses.”
