Job and career fair for displaced Amazon workers set for Dec. 16
The Little Rock Chamber of Commerce and the Department of Commerce’s Workforce Connections will host a job and recruitment fair on Tuesday, Dec. 16, aimed at connecting nearly 4,600 recently-displaced Amazon employees with new employment and educational opportunities.
The event is 9 a.m. to noon at the UA – Pulaski Technical College Little Rock - South site, located at 13000 I-30 Frontage Road near the Pulaski-Saline County line.
The job fair is for current or displaced Amazon employees only. The focus is on rapid recruitment and providing pathways for career advancement and academic enrollment. Participating organizations will offer information on current openings and career training programs.
The event is being held following the temporary closure of Amazon’s LIT 1 fulfillment center at the Port of Little Rock, which has been shut down since October because of structural engineering issues.
