JENNIFER BUTLER - MONTCO WORKS
Last Thursday, the club welcomed JENIFER BUTLET, Executive Director of MONTCO WORKS , to speak to the club about the activities that her organization brings to the community. Their services center around the training of individuals for today's job market and getting them off the unemployment roles. Montco Works is part of the Commerce Department of Montgomery County and works in conjunction with the
PA CareerLink program. They offer over 55 programs for training in a wide range of employment opportunities including truck driving, tech, software, IT, welding to name just a few of the jobs in highest demand. They have training programs not only for individuals but also for staff positions, apprenticeships, and a youth development program. Jenifer pointed out the although Montgomery County has a relatively low unemployment, the high local wages and cost of living make the areas around Pottstown and Norristown particularly difficult to serve. They deal with 20 to 30 people each day who are looking for work.
