Workforce Taskforce Committee Chair and LEAP Board Member, Mary Wellnitz, commented on the event, saying, “We want to let the community know there are jobs available and employers are actively recruiting. It is even more important during these tough times, to be able to set up potential applicants with an open position on the spot.”
Community members do not need to register for the event, but if they pre-register at https://tinyurl.com/2tvcac4c and sign in upon arrival at the event, they will be entered into a drawing for a $200 Visa Gift Card. Interviews will be held on the spot so attendees are encouraged to come ready for an appointment.
This event has been facilitated from LEAP’s Workforce Task Force. Committee facilitator from the LEAP staff, Mike Riehle, said, ”The goal of this event is to bring available positions in the community to the forefront and to showcase what skills are needed for these positions. It is our hope that in doing so, we can bridge the gap between our schools, community leaders, and businesses to create a better pipeline of qualified talent to our local companies. The ultimate mission of our group is to fill every open position in La Porte County!”
This event is open to the public. Social distancing and masks are required.
