Welcome Employers!

The 2008 LEDA Job Fair takes place on Wednesday, August 20, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Heymann Convention Center, 1373 South College Road, Lafayette.

Now in its thirteenth year, the LEDA Job Fair is the premier job recruitment event in Acadiana. Each year we connect Louisiana employers with thousands of qualified jobseekers. Whether your hiring needs are substantial or modest, LEDA's one-day job fair is a cost-effective solution to help you meet your goals.

The LEDA Job Fair can help you:

Interview a large number of candidates in one day,
Reduce your hiring expenses,
Identify a greater number of qualified applicants in shorter period of time,
Connect with a diverse range of employment sectors and educational backgrounds, including hard-to-find "passive candidates".

In addition, we provide:

An extensive advertising and promotional campaign before the job fair that uses newspaper and radio advertising, Internet, secondary schools, universities, labor offices and more,
Access to easy-to-use jobseeker résumé database for continued access to qualified applicants after the event,
Company profile and job listings in the Employer Directory, given to jobseekers the day of the event.
