Cool Workshop News

  In my last post, I mentioned distributing flyers about all the great stuff we offer at your local CareerLink®. My goal was to get the word out that we are MORE than just a place you have to go when you are unemployed. Needless to say, we are a GREAT place to go if you are unemployed, but...   That's not all we do, as demonstrated by the large variety of workshops we offer. I have found, within the last year or so, that there is an extreme interest in learning some more of the basics of everyday technology, such as basic computer skills, and basic internet skills. So I am also starting a fun and freaky series of internet security tips that promote technology training services for those who feel left behind by the exponentially expanding reliance on using computers and the internet.  So take a look at one of them. Stay tuned, more historical characters will e tossing in their two cents worth of cyber security wisdom soon. Who knew these concepts are over a hundred years old?

  I wish I had a dime (OK - maybe a quarter due to inflation) every time someone said to me "I had no idea I could get all this training for free.  Why don't more people do this?" Why indeed? Generally speaking (with but a few exceptions) most people have never heard of us until they are forced to due to unemployment issues. And as I have said (and will say again)  we excel at helping you navigate that complex maze. But we are so much more. We need to let the masses know what they have at their disposal. But - you know - non-profits and all - funds are limited. So I am trying to find ways to get awareness for the classes I offer out there to be seen. Start small - aim big I always say (or maybe I heard it said..?). Heck, I can take them on the road if I have to. So, one simple way is to get some flyers out on public bulletin boards (you know, the ones you walk past and generally ignore in the grocery store, coffee shop, and Library)? But - mine will be a little different
