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, June 27, in the Lake Charles Civic Center’s Exhibition Hall, 900 Lakeshore Drive.

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 Friday, July 22. 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.

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.
