Businesses had the chance to find people who could be the right fit.
Bernell Jones is a junior Psychology student at Southern University, looking for a job at the River Center. He said there should be more events like this.
“Looking for job opportunities as a college student, I need help in my career endeavors, like internships, and career development,” Jones mentioned. “I believe it helps. A young person looking for opportunities – we need help too.”
Over 900 people came out looking for their next opportunity.
Mayor-President Sid Edwards said many industries are looking for the right person, and it just takes finding the right fit.
“We want you to stay in Baton Rouge. I wish you the best of luck this morning. We have a wide array of opportunities and positions in Baton Rouge, we’re excited about where we’re going with the city,” said Edwards.
Organizers agree – and they highlight the many benefits to working in Baton Rouge.
Amanda Stanley with EmployBR said, “We’ve got a variety of companies here – we have healthcare, Lane Memorial, Baton Rouge General, construction, MMR, Turner.”
Jones said he wants more events like this because they would help people living here.
He said, “If no one is willing to give you experience, how do you get it?”
