Career Café
The Employment Readiness Program (ERP) is happy to announce the start of “Career Cafe.” Beginning in the month of January 2020, the Program Manager for the ERP will host an outreach table at the various coffee spots/food courts throughout the community as a way to reach the community. This service is a question and answer forum to help inform job seekers and potential job seekers the answers they seek. There will also be a list of current employment opportunities within the community so stop by and get informed on the employment opportunities within our community.
Please note: Coffee and snacks are NOT provided.
The outreach table will be located in an area where you are more than welcome to purchase beverages and/or snacks of your choice and talk with the ERP Program Manager. This is a great opportunity for the Program Manager to share his thoughts and information with you. We look forward to meeting you!
