Job seekers from all over the parish attended the Job Fair and Resource Expo hosted by the Greater Minden Chamber this past Tuesday, Oct. 22 at the Minden Civic Center. 

The chamber partnered with the City of Minden and their Civic Center staff, Louisiana Workforce Commission, Coordinating & Development Corporation and Webster Parish Schools to bring more than 30 employers on site giving attendees a wide range of industry choices. 

“We had a steady flow of job seekers throughout the day, as well as students from North Webster and Minden High who were there to learn about future job opportunities,” said Chamber President Stephanie Barnett. “Our employers seemed pleased with the turnout and with the quality of applicants, so I would say that is a success.”
