Are you unemployed or are you looking for a career change? Are you an employer looking for employees? If so, the American Job Center – Region V invites you to take part in the Quarterly Job Fair, which will take place from 9:30 a.m.- noon, Wednesday, Oct. 8, in the Lake Charles Event Center’s Exhibition Hall, 900 Lakeshore Drive. 

An estimated 50 employers are expected to attend.

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 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. Also, arrive early to make sure you get 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. There is no cost for employers to participate but pre-registration is required. To register, contact the American Job Center at 337-721-4010 or email business@lwia51.com
