West AlabamaWorks has been organizing hiring events across the region for several years. They will be returning to Demopolis for another hiring event at the Theo Ratliff Activity Center on Feb. 20 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

While the specific list of employers for the upcoming event is still being finalized, hiring events typically feature a diverse range of companies from various industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, and education. One example, Smurfit Westrock, a significant employer in the region, has been actively involved in these initiatives. 

West Alabama Works hiring events often provide additional resources to assist job seekers. These may include resume writing assistance, interview coaching, and opportunities to network with industry professionals.

“We aim to equip attendees with the tools they need to succeed in their job search,” said Brittany Greer, Marketing Coordinator for West Alabama Works. “Details about specific services offered at the Marengo County Hiring Event will be available on our website and social media as the event approaches.”

Greet encourages all job seekers to pre-register for the Marengo County Hiring Event to expedite the check-in process. Pre-registration can be completed here at https://www.westalabamajobs.com

“Additionally, staying connected with us through our website and social media channels will ensure you receive the latest updates on participating employers, available resources, and other pertinent information. We look forward to assisting you in your job search and helping you connect with potential employers in the region,” Greer added.
