Broussard, LA (September 10, 2025) – The City of Broussard, in partnership with Acadiana Workforce Solutions and the Louisiana Workforce Commission, is hosting emergency employment service sessions for displaced employees from SafeSource Direct.

“We appreciate the strong cooperation from Acadiana Workforce Solutions to provide job placement assistance for SafeSource Direct employees,” said Broussard Mayor Ray Bourque.

“These highly skilled workers are part of Broussard’s thriving workforce family, and they deserve our help during this challenging time.”

The city is providing the Broussard Event Center, located at 406 E. Madison Street, Building B, as a venue for the Louisiana Workforce Commission to operate its emergency employment service sessions. The sessions will begin on Wednesday, September 10, and run through
Thursday, September 18. Employees can attend in person or online. Employees are asked to register in advance at www.LaWorks.net.

“We’ve been in contact with Acadiana Workforce Solutions, Louisiana Workforce Commission, Lafayette Economic Development Authority, and One Acadiana since receiving word from the company that they were planning layoffs,” said Bourque. “We will continue to do everything we can to minimize any negative impact on the employees and their families and maximize our collective resources to efficiently organize their rapid reemployment.”
