The Excelsior Chamber is partnering with Missouri Enterprises to provide a week of manufacturing workforce training with a guaranteed interview at the end of the week-long program for those who complete the week and earn their certificate. This program is FREE for anyone attending, minimum age is 18. Lunch is provided each day. The program will take place at the Excelsior Springs community center and class size will be limited to 20. This is a huge opportunity for someone looking to upgrade from a minimum wage based job to a manufacturing career. HR reps from Treehouse Pasta, Magna, Fiskars, and others will be on site Friday at the end of the program to conduct interviews. Our goal is to have job offers extended that afternoon to some (if not all) of the participants.
We are happy to extend this invitation to the Kearney community and those you know needing employment or a career change, or someone that just graduated high-school and is not interested in a 4-year degree. This is an opportunity of a lifetime for someone.
Class week is November 9-13. It is free to attend and lunch is provided each day. Interviews are guaranteed to those who complete the week. Register by calling the Chamber office: 816.630.6161 or email: info@exspgschamber.com.
