Local employers and job seekers will have opportunities to connect in the coming weeks as Workforce Development Board 83 hosts two events aimed at strengthening the parish workforce.
A hiring event is scheduled for 3 to 6 p.m. May 7 at the Rayville Civic Center. The event is open to employers across the region and offers a chance to meet with job seekers and fill open positions at no cost to participating businesses.
Organizers say the event is designed to bring together local talent and employers in a single setting, helping streamline the hiring process and create new opportunities within the community.
Businesses currently seeking employees are encouraged to register in advance, while those not hiring are asked to help spread the word to individuals who may be looking for work.
In addition to the hiring event, Workforce Development Board 83 will host its April Richland Roundtable at 2 p.m. April 29 at the Delhi Civic Center.
The roundtable meetings provide a forum for local business leaders, community partners and workforce officials to discuss ongoing needs, share updates and collaborate on strategies to support economic growth in the region.
“These roundtables are a great way to stay connected and work together on workforce needs and opportunities in our area,” said Jamie Massey, a business service team member with Workforce Development Board 83.
Organizers emphasized the importance of community participation in both events, noting that partnerships between employers, job seekers and local organizations play a key role in building a stronger workforce.
