The job fair will be held Aug. 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Husqvarna’s location in Nashville. Hosted by the Arkansas Workforce Connections Office of Employment & Training, the job fair hopes to help Husqvarna’s impacted employees find new jobs in the region.
Around 700 people from around the region are expected to lose their jobs after Husqvarna announced the closure earlier this year. Layoffs are expected to held in phases and all positions eliminated by the end of 2024.
Employees can get registered on Arkansas Job Link by visiting www.arjoblink.arkansas.gov or by using the QR code located on flyers around the area.
Local employers interested in attending the job fair are encouraged to contact Shawna Kennedy by emailing [email protected].
