Sullivan, LA – The Bogalusa Campus Career Fair, held at Northshore Technical Community College’s (NTCC) Sullivan Campus on Thursday, February 6, was an outstanding success, bringing together local job seekers and employers from across Washington Parish.
NTCC’s Career Services, in collaboration with Geaux Jobs of Washington Parish, organized the event to create meaningful connections between employers and potential hires. A total of 19 employers from various industries participated, meeting with 181 job seekers eager to explore career opportunities. Attendees included NTCC students, high school Dual Enrollment students, and community members.
Tiffany Fowler, Director of Career Services at NTCC, expressed her excitement about the event’s impact. “I was thrilled to see so many job seekers filling out applications on the spot at our designated tables,” said Fowler. “The positive feedback from employers about the quality of applicants was incredible, and it reinforces the need for more opportunities like this in our community.”
Due to the overwhelmingly positive response from employers, job seekers, and the Washington Parish community, NTCC is excited to announce plans for another Bogalusa Campus Career Fair in Fall 2025. “The employers and participants told me this was needed, and I'm happy to connect people to these opportunities in one venue,” Fowler added.
