Lake Charles, LA (KPLC) - SOWELA will be hosting a Women in Nontraditional Careers Seminar on Tuesday, June 13. We spoke with assistant director of recruitment Dedria Walton this morning who gave us the details.
The free event will run from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at SOWELA’s main campus in Lake Charles.
