Outreach Update:

November was a busy month visiting local schools and job fairs to promote the message that our industry holds many opportunities for those looking for a career. If you would like to come along, please let us know.

The Workforce 60 program continues to grow but we need YOU!! Is your company hiring in the near future? Are you looking for work-ready young adults, aged 18-24, who have been pre-screened and are ready for on-the-job training? This program can work for you in several ways. If you are looking to hire entry-level workers, have applicants who need some training prior to hire, or have a current employee who needs some additional training in order to be promoted, Workforce 60 can benefit your company. This program will pay up to 75% of up to the first 8 weeks of on-the-job training for qualified candidates. Contact Pam Duxbury for more information.

Join Aaron and his Elves on Saturday December 5th at the Sparks Hometown Christmas Parade. We will be passing out candy canes to all the kids along Victorian Ave.
