🔥 Who's Recruiting on Cedar Street

The state's career events calendar lists the employers taking tables, and the mix is wide. On the corporate side: Humana, the hometown health insurer, FedEx, Republic Bank, Transcend Credit Union, United Collection Bureau and Deposition Technology Innovations (DTI).

Public employers are well represented too. Louisville Metro Government, Louisville Metro Corrections and the state's Justice & Public Safety Cabinet will all be there, alongside JCPS Adult Ed.

Rounding it out: Plumbers Supply Co, Hughes Environmental, Sabert, Algood Foods, Life Safety Services, Goodwill Industries, Home Instead, the YMCA and staffing firm Kelly Services. The listing adds "and more," so expect a few tables that aren't on the published roster.

What the listing does not say: which specific positions each employer is filling, or how many. No headcount has been announced. Look up a few employers' current openings before you go so you walk in with a target, not a guess.

⚠️ Read This Before You Drive

KentuckianaWorks lists its main Louisville career center at the Goodwill Opportunity Campus, 2820 W. Broadway, and that is a different building. The official Kentucky career events calendar places this October 21 event at the Kentucky Career Center on Cedar Street. If you want to double-check before you leave, call the career center at (502) 388-3010.

The listing does not mention preregistration, a dress code or a walk-in policy. Plan to arrive early, dressed for an interview, with resumes ready.

Different Day, Different Event

Louisville has several hiring events packed into two October weeks. The same career center hosts a separate job and career fair on Tuesday, October 13 at the Goodwill Opportunity Campus on West Broadway, focused on manufacturing, healthcare and transportation. The next day, Wednesday, October 14, a large multi-industry fair runs at L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium on South Floyd Street; see the October 14 details here. All three are on our fall Louisville job fair guide.

📋 How to Show Up Ready

Bring at least 10 printed resumes. There are 19 named tables, and fewer copies run out fast.
Have a photo ID and a short list of references with phone numbers.
Know your availability. Transportation and healthcare roles often ask about nights and weekends right away.
For public safety tables, expect questions about background checks and physical requirements.
