JOB CENTER OF THE MONTH JULY 2008!
RICHMOND
The Richmond Job Center’s Veterans Representative Robert “Bob” Dalton has just announced he will be launching a series of Introductory Computer and Internet Classes aimed specifically at Veterans.
“During our recent Veteran’s Career Fair here in Richmond, many Veteran’s expressed an interest in some type of Computer Training,” said Mr. Dalton.
“After seeing the Central Kentucky Job Center's Mobile Unit in action here and at the Job Fair, I knew this was exactly what we needed to get these programs up and running,” he added, “and it comes complete with an Instructor!”
“Persons needing fundamental Computer Instruction, the usage of email, setting up an email account, and Resume Assistance are several of many the Mobile Unit has to offer the Bluegrass Area,” said Mike Purcell, Central Kentucky’s Mobile Unit Instructor and Driver.
“We are very happy to help Bob and allow our Veteran’s the opportunity to learn new and valuable Employment Skills so necessary in today’s Job Market,” adds Mr. Purcell.
For more information on these and other Programs, please contact the Central Kentucky Job Center’s Richmond office. Just Click on the “Richmond” link below for Contact Information and Hours Of Operation.
