The American Job Center encourages job seekers and employers to take part in the Region V Job Fair, which will take place from 9:30 a.m. - noon, Tuesday, Oct. 19, in the Lake Charles Civic Center’s Exhibition Hall, 900 Lakeshore Drive.

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. Face masks are 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. 5029. Registration will remain open until the maximum capacity of 50 is reached. There is no cost for employers to participate.

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.

Pre-registration is requested for the workshop, but not for the job fair.

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.
