Local Group Helping Displaced Workers Locally

Providing displaced workers with new job skills while providing them with new job opportunities is the goal of a local non-profit.
 
Workforce Investment Solutions is a non for profit group located in Decatur that seeks to give area employees who may have been laid off or the casualty of a reduction in force, new opportunities. Special Projects Consultant Larry Peterson explains they can provide unemployed or underemployed residents with a number of opportunities.
 
 
Workforce Investment Solutions works closely with a number of employers in the Decatur area and Peterson says along with knowing what employers need, they can help bridge the gap with what some potential employees can offer.
 
 
The training isn't necessarily open to just unemployed or underemployed workers. Peterson encourages anyone to come in and utilize their services.
 
 
Workforce Investment Solutions also offers specific times for training in areas like manufactering, trucking and now healthcare. 
 
To learn more about any of the opportunities offered through Workforce Investment Solutions, contact their Decatur office by calling 217-875-8751.
