Here is an update on what our Workforce Readiness team is working on
with the Mayor's Office. The last week of July, LSHRM was notified that
someone from the Mayor's Globalization Office wanted to partner with LSHRM to
add a Job Fair during WORLDFEST 2012. There was a brief meeting and Rawleigh Richardson, Director of Workforce Readiness, suggested that we form a team of various resources such as KentuckianaWorks, OET, Louisville Urban League, Carolyn H. Whitaker-Tandy with Congressman
John Yarmuth's Office, and the Jewish Family Career Center to coordinate this
event. This team has since met 2-3 times each week and has created the attached
letter and application and booked the Galt House as a location next to the
WORLDFEST event on August 31st, 2012 (Friday).
Rawleigh will need just a few
volunteers for the table during the event. John Reliford, LSHRM's Chapter President for 2012 has said that he would be there
representing our organization. We would like at least three additional volunteers. Two people
would be at the tables assisting job seekers with a quick resume review. The
other two would rotate at the table and help set-up during the event. The LSHRM table
will have copies of the Workforce Readiness pamphlet and handouts on
resumes, interviews, and job search website recommendations.
If you are interested in volunteering for this event, please contact Rawleigh Richardson at rrichardson@lshrm.org.
This is a great new format for information!! Thanks for all you are doing to increase the level of communication in our Chapter!!
