LEDA hosting health care job fair

The Lafayette Economic Development Authority is hosting a Health Care Job Fair on Feb. 8 in response to a need for workers within the industry.

The event will be from 9 a.m. to noon at the Cajundome Convention Center.

“Health care is Acadiana’s largest and fastest growing industry. Due to COVID-19, the industry has experienced additional workforce shortages which has required local providers to increase their recruitment efforts,” said Mandi D. Mitchell, LEDA president and CEO. “LEDA continues to work with local employers to identify workforce needs and provide opportunities to connect them with our qualified workforce.”

The job fair will feature nearly 30 local health care businesses hiring nurses and nurse assistants, respiratory therapists, phlebotomists, admit counselors and others.

A list of participating employers and job seeker pre-registration is available at lafayette.org/healthcarejobfair.
