We conducted a workforce reentry series in the spring called Spring Into Reentry. A navy rep from Southern California participated in the session. She was planning a job fair at the time. Three employers were on the line...one from the Dallas area and one from Utah. Those two had offices in Southern Cal, and our participant was hooked up with those local offices.
Same participant has a worker releasing and relocating to Pittsburgh soon. Emailed me to find out about transitional housing or short-term housing options. I gave her contact info for two housing reps from the Pittsburgh area to try and develop a plan for her client.
You could never do this type of networking in a traditional classroom when only local participants can attend!!! A good use of the Internet!
