The Vermilion Chamber of Commerce and Vermilion Economic Development Alliance are again joining forces with Acadiana Workforce Solutions, Louisiana Workforce Commission, and South Louisiana Community College to bring businesses and job seekers together. The Vermilion Parish Job Fair is slated for Thursday, July 24. This year’s event will be held in the Abbeville High School Gym from 9am until 1pm.
Businesses across the parish continue to cite workforce as one of their top priorities. The job fair creates an opportunity for local job seekers to connect with businesses who are currently recruiting. According to Tiffany Dubois, Director of Human Resources for Broussard Brothers, “We love Vermilion Parish and are always thrilled to participate in recruiting opportunities locally. The job fair gives us an opportunity to meet local applicants and grow our workforce.”
In addition to area businesses, local resource providers will be on hand to support job seekers and employers. South Louisiana Community College will have the Mobile Lab on-site to feature short-term training programs for jobs that are in demand in south Louisiana. Louisiana Workforce Commission will also have their Mobile Workforce Unit onsite to assist job applicants with online resources.
If you are looking for a new job opportunity, come out and meet our local employers. Job seekers are also encouraged to take advantage of resources through our partners at Acadiana Workforce Solutions in advance of the job fair to help with resume and interview preparation. As a follow up to the event, the Louisiana Workforce Commission will also work with participating businesses to list unfilled positions on their website for ongoing recruitment.
Employers can register to participate at VermilionChamber.org, as space is limited. For additional information, contact the Vermilion Chamber of Commerce at 337-893-2491 or Vermilion Economic Development at 337-740-7433.
