How can you give back to the community through the TAKE ACTION Job-a-Thon?

WORKFORCE plus is excited o bring you the "Tech Challenge Professional Development Series," a variety of workshops designed to assist area businesses. Each workshop will provide relevant and useful tools to assist businesses in addressing technology training needs.

The first workshop in the series, Microsoft Super User, will not only address basic computer skills but will also provide the framework needed to improve performance linked to daily tasks while expanding the user's knowledge in Microsoft Word and Excel. Much like the workplace, this workshop is fast paced and supports the outcomes needed to ensure that the employee is well versed and able to perform their assigned job duties. As a value-added benefit, WORKFORCE plus will provide each attendee with a no-cost reference guide.

The workshop will be delivered through the WORKFORCE plus offices located in Gadsden, Leon and Wakulla counties. The first workshop will be held at the Leon office located at 2525 South Monroe Street on March 4th, 8:30 am to 1:00 pm. The Gadsden office, 1140 West Clark Street, on March 11th, 8:30 am to 1:00 pm. and the Wakulla Office, 3278 Crawfordville Highway, on March 18th, 8:30 am to 1:00 pm.

Interested businesses who would like to register their employees are encouraged to do so today as seating is limited! To RSVP, click here.

The Spotlight series conducted by WORKFORCE plus is designed to gather numerous employers in one area and allow jobseekers three minutes to "sell" themselves with a group interview. Employers receive resumes and can ask questions throughout the presentation. "In the Spotlight" is a wonderful opportunity for job seekers to present themselves to local employers who wish to fill their open positions. The Healthcare spotlight will shine on employment opportunities specifically related to healthcare.

If you are a healthcare employer in need of qualified candidates and would like to participate in this event, please contact our office at (850) 414-6085 or email us at wfp@wfplus.org.
