Greetings Partners,

I am thrilled to announce that I, Monique Ladd, will be the new One Stop Operator for Prince George’s County! Angela Smith will now be working as the One Stop Operator for Montgomery County. We will truly miss her presence, leadership and invaluable insight. However, I am excited for this opportunity and look forward to continuing our partnership and servicing the job seekers and businesses of Prince George’s County. 

We have made significant strides to connect our businesses with knowledgeable and qualified job seekers. Through this partnership we have produced a variety of resources to share with the residents of Prince George’s county to assist them in reaching their educational and career goals.

The determination and perseverance to assist our community and ensure each resident has the opportunity to succeed is remarkable. We must remain insistent and committed to the ongoing work that is required of a Workforce Development Professional.

Thank you for your unwavering support of this partnership along with your commitment to our community. Thank you for your initiative and confidence in the values of our partnership. Thank you for your continued collaboration to ensure our community has access to all resources available.

“Collaboration allows us to know more than we are capable of knowing by ourselves” – Paul Solarz

Friendly reminder! Please remember to share updates, upcoming workshops, scheduled events, and planned activities, by the 12^th of the month to mladd@eckerd.org.
