The job fair is presented by the Fellowship Full Gospel Ministries, the Lafayette Economic Development Authority, the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office, the Louisiana Workforce Commission, and the nonprofit organization VOTE - Voice of the Experienced.

This event will take place at the Martin Luther King Jr. Center located at 309 Cora Street on Thursday, July 25, from 10:00 am to noon. According to LEDA, More than a dozen companies and 7 resource providers will be at the event. There is no need to preregister.

The job fair is free and open to the public.
