Ypsilanti's ETCS looks to pair local talent with jobs at job fair

For years Washtenaw County's Employment Training and Community Services has been all about connecting employers with future employees, and vice versa.

Now the Ypsilanti-based agency is reaching out beyond the county's borders, taking part in the 2009 Livingston Regional Job Fair in Howell on April 22. The idea is to combine the workforce and employers of both neighboring counties to get more local people employed.

"We're trying to do as much outreach as possible to let employers know how much talent there is available here," says Dorion Holbrook, corporate and business services representative for ETCS.

Businesses looking for new employees and workers looking for new jobs are both invited to come to the event at Crystal Gardens Banquet Center, 5768 E. Grand River Ave. in Howell.

For information, contact Dorion Holbrook at holbrookd@ewashtenaw.org or (734) 544-2952.
