Minden Civic Center was almost overflowing with employment hunters and personnel seekers Thursday for the annual Job Fair. The event was sponsored by Greater Minden Chamber, in partnership with City of Minden, Webster Parish Schools, The Coordinating & Development Corporation, Northwest Louisiana Technical Community College and Louisiana Workforce Commission.
Greater Minden Chamber CEO Stephanie Barnette was pleased not only with the number of vendors but with the turnout.
“Last year, Minden High School sent some students, but this year, all of the parish high schools have students here,” Barnette said. “A lot of these seniors will be going to work instead of school. This is a good opportunity for them.”
