Auburn, Ala. — The City of Auburn announced a partnership with local businesses and Auburn City Schools to host a job fair on Tuesday, June 19, from 3 - 8 p.m.
The job fair is to assist those recently laid off by the closing of MasterBrand’s Auburn plant.
The company stunned employers and city officials on June 12 by announcing its closure because of ‘market conditions and changes in consumer taste.’ Auburn City officials announced their efforts to assist in placing the 445 affected employees in jobs.
“It’s great to see the entire community coming together in this critical time for those who lost their jobs this week,” said Cary Cox, the City of Auburn’s workforce development director. “We have had great interest from local businesses and industries as well as companies outside of our region, and we’re anticipating an excellent turnout for this event.”
Those attending will be able to interview for possible positions and fill out job applications.
The Job fair will be held at the Auburn Junior High School gym at 405 S. Dean Road
