The theme for the day: Educate, Enlighten and Inform.

For two days, the 70 attendees worked together to more fully understand the scope and range of all the servcies we provide to both employers and job seekers. Through a variety of presentations, discussion and group activities, the team walked away more informed and energized – a great way to start the New Year.
