Today’s job market is tougher than ever, especially for those without the high-tech skills employers are often seeking in the current economy. In Part 3 of our Helping Hands series, we have compiled a list of the local resources that are available for people who are seeking a little step up towards gaining their GED and/or the specific job training or computer skills needed to become a better candidate for work in our local market. If you know of other local job training programs that we should consider adding to this list, please let us know in the comments below. Even better, if you know of (or are) a success story from one of these programs, please share!
