Calendly – Book time directly on my calendar to meet and start talking.

​

Potential Topics for discussion:

​

  • Meaningful hospitality industry recognized certifications that count in an interview.

  • Incumbent Worker programming and career advancing KSAs for people looking up the ladder.

  • Adult Education strategies for people who love to serve.

  • Dislocated worker strategies for people pursuing new dreams.

  • Supported Youth Apprenticeships for young people.

It might be fun to take a look at the programming we have set up in the middle of the country in Madison County Illinois. Get some ideas? We are empowering whole communities through multi-sector customer service training in Collinsville.

 

We would love to replicate their efforts in your region of the state.
