local non-profit organization.
FROM HOME: While the Novel Coronavirus
(COVID-19) outbreak restrictions
remain in place, job seekers can
prepare for training site
placement and employment from
the safety of their home. Job
readiness materials and online
training options are now available
for active participants.
APPLY TODAY: If you are age 55 or older, currently
unemployed, and meet certain
financial criteria, you may be
