RURAL OUTREACH TOWN HALL HOSTED BY MISSOURI JOB CENTER

As a way to strengthen ties and support Taney County, the Missouri Job Center, Ozark Region, is hosting a Rural Outreach Initiative Town Hall on Thursday, November 29, from 5:30-7:00 pm, at the Branson Convention Center, Fall Creek Room, located at 200 Sycamore Street in Branson.

“The purpose of this town hall is to identify any challenges the county may be facing, as well as address needs in the local workforce,” said Mary Ann Rojas, Director of the Missouri Job Center. We’ll be gleaning information from a panel discussion made up of 3-5 local employers, said Rojas.

Representatives from local employers as well as county elected officials, will be on hand to discuss current trends in employment and what resources are needed to develop or retain workers. The public is invited to attend this free event.

“The Missouri Job Center is focused on continually addressing workforce needs in the community by partnering with local companies to ensure workers are adequately trained,” said Sharon Walker, president of the Job Center’s Workforce Development Board.

For more information, contact Katherine Trombetta, communications coordinator, at 417-841-3389 or ktrombetta@springfieldmo.gov.
