WORKFORCE TESTIMONIALS
“The Employer Workforce Training Fund has been valuable to us because our employees have actually been able to take local classes. They can take that information right from the class and bring it back to the office and plug it right into what they are doing today.”
Lyndell Smothers, Human Resources Manager
“As the Family Self-Sufficiency Coordinator for the local housing authority, I have referred 23 participants for enrollment into Job Growers Incorporated's skills training programs. Three of them are now employed thanks to mock interview and resume workshops sponsored by Job Growers and paid for by Workforce Investment Act funding. WIA Programs are making a difference for these individuals."
Sonya Clodfelter, FSS Coordinator
"Job Growers (the local workforce investment board) really helped me get on the road to a career in health care. Even though I'm only 20 years old I know that caring for people is the job for me. I applied to become a Certified Nurse Assistant after I found out about the program at the local WorkSource Center. The great folks there helped me enroll in the program, now I've graduated, and I'm moving on to more training to become a level 2 assistant .I'll work a few years, then go on to become a Registered Nurse. I'm on my way."
