Job Fair Organizers Fail to Appear for Event

TYLER — A job fair Wednesday for hundreds of folks in the oil and gas industry never happened. KETK reports it was scheduled in Tyler at Workforce Solutions East Texas. The flyer advertised some 20 companies would be on hand with jobs, courtesy of Northeast Texas Oil Field Alliance. But when job seekers showed up, no one was there. Workforce staffers say they’re unsure how the event was promoted, and that the recruiter was not cleared to do the job fair. Staffers say they did what they could to make sure job seekers were taken care of. We’re told Northeast Texas Oil Field Alliance will not be asked back to Workforce Solutions again.
