US: Greater Shreveport Chamber of Commerce debuts job portal for residents

Those in the area of the Shreveport-Bossier City region of Louisiana searching for a job need look no further: a new online platform has appeared with exactly this population in mind.

The Greater Shreveport Chamber of Commerce launched its new job portal this week on their website.

The idea for the portal came several years ago with Barksdale Air Force Base. There was a community partnership initiative with the base, the chamber and other businesses in the area, and from there the chamber learned that airmen and their spouses were having a hard time finding local jobs.

President Dr. Timothy Magner wanted to create something that could help spouses find work or help airmen transitioning out of the military find local jobs if they wanted to stay in the area.

“If they know they’re going to be coming here, they can get on the website right now and submit their resume,” says Magner. “Especially if they’re going to be moving here or if they want to have a job when they get here, they can find a position locally here in Shreveport-Bossier.”
