The South Louisiana Community College (So-LAcc) and Lafayette Economic Development Authority (LEDA) Industrial Trades Job Fair has been moved to the Cajundome Convention Center. The event is scheduled for Tuesday, August 12, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
The event will host over 50 local employers who will be on-site and actively hiring for highdemand positions across industries like construction, manufacturing, transportation, utilities, and the marine/offshore sector. Available roles include welders, electricians, diesel technicians, pipefitters, deckhands, production line workers, and more.
“This job fair is an incredible opportunity for skilled tradespeople to connect directly with employers looking to hire immediately,” said Nancy Roy, Interim Executive Director of Workforce Student Services & Operations for SoLAcc. “We’re seeing strong demand in industrial sectors across the region, and this event helps bridge the gap between job seekers and workforce needs.” Job seekers are encouraged to bring multiple copies of their resume, dress professionally, and be prepared for on-the-spot interviews.
The event is free and open to the public. More information, including jobseeker pre-registration, is available at www.solacc.edu/jobfair. Employers interested in participating should contact Nancy Roy at Nancy. [email protected].
