Livingston to host Sumter County hiring event

LIVINGSTON – West AlabamaWorks and the Demopolis Career Center have partnered with The City of Livingston to host a Sumter County hiring event on July 13 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Livingston Civic Center.

The job fair will feature multiple positions from 16 employers across West Alabama.

Chamber of Commerce of West Alabama COO and West AlabamaWorks Executive Director Donny Jones encouraged job seekers in Sumter and surrounding counties to take advantage of this opportunity to explore the careers available in their own communities.

“Many people in Sumter County don’t realize the incredible career opportunities available to them in their own backyard,” Jones said. “Hiring events like this help to change that narrative by showcasing in-demand jobs across a wide variety of industries without the commute.”

Hiring partners include Foster Farms, Whitfield Regional Hospital, West Alabama Mental Health, Parr’s Chevron, Pinnacle Renewable Energy, WestRock of Eutaw, Prystup Packaging Products, Harvest Select Catfish, PECO Foods, GD, Copper USA, ARD Logistics, Westervelt and Enviva.

Additional community partners for the event include Tuscaloosa SAFE Center, Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services and PRIDE of Tuscaloosa.

Attendees are encouraged to dress business casual as they should treat the event like a job interview.
