Director of Workforce Development
Are you looking to hire highly skilled, professional employees? Then look no further than your "own back yard."
Over 180 talented people were permanently displaced from different business sectors in the fourth of quarter 2015. These individuals are available and willing to put their experience, skills, and education to work for you.
They possess portable skill sets that will enable them to transition into a variety of different industries. Their backgrounds include administrative, contracting, finance, human resources, information technology, engineering, customer service, restaurant management, culinary arts and maintenance.
To connect to these dedicated, hardworking individuals, contact Debi Balog at (814) 262-8366 or via e-mail at [email protected].
