North Hempstead to host work force development orientations

The Island Now

North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth and Town Council Member Viviana Russell have announced two workforce development orientations to be held at the “Yes We Can” Community Center in Westbury on Friday, Jan. 24, and Tuesday, Jan. 28. The orientation sessions are intended to give residents a general overview of the topics that will be discussed at a more in-depth work force development class scheduled for February 2020.

“As elected officials, we must always look for unique ways to improve the lives of our residents,” Bosworth said. “The work force development program will provide the public with the tools to thrive in their careers including interview techniques and various trainings. This is an important program, which I look forward to continuing for years to come.”

We are proud to be actively participating in the work force development board, along with the Town of Oyster Bay and the City of Glen Cove, in giving residents the opportunity to develop and enhance their professional skills. After the orientation sessions, residents can register for workforce development classes that will focus on a number of topics including vocational training, job-search training, and interview preparation and counseling.

“The Town of North Hempstead is proud to have worked hard at addressing the need for work force initiatives, both housing and employment opportunities, in our town. The natural progression of those initiatives is to equally ensure our residents have the proper resources to ensure gainful employment, to not only qualify but to sustain those housing opportunities,” Russell said. “It’s important that we provide enriching resources to those residents who may require additional help in achieving the quality of life we all strive for here on Long Island.”

The orientation will be held on Friday, Jan. 24 orientation from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and on Tuesday, Jan. 28, from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. Both sessions will be held at the ‘Yes We Can’ Community Center at 141 Garden Street, New Cassel.
