A Link to Local Talent
Debi Balog
Director, Workforce Development
JARI is facilitating Open Discussion Forums for defense industry employees displaced in 2017. The purpose of the forums is to provide re-employment and support services to participants as they transition into re-employment.
We invite employers and agencies to attend one of the meetings to discuss support services and job opportunities. Also, we could utilize the skills of human resource professionals and subject matter experts to review and offer tips on resumes, job search resources and interviewing skills.
Participants include: a senior product logistician, mechanical engineers and a senior training developer. Each participant has skills, education and experience that may transfer into a number of different industries.
The group meets at 11:00 am every Wednesday (flexible) at the JARI Center in Richland. If you are interested in providing assistance, please contact Debi Balog, Workforce Development Director at 814.262.8366 or via e-mail at [email protected].
