Employment - April 2009

In the past weeks we have seen a few brighter days in the economy but in general things have remained about as they were for those out of work and looking for employment, or for those in need of upgrading their present positions. Whether you or someone you know is in this situation we hope the following information will be helpful.

The Church operates two employment centers in the valley. The Provo Center is located in the Deseret Industries (DI) facility between the drop off area and the store (1415 North State Street, Provo). There is also a center in Springville, located at 1672 West 700 South for those who may current be working in that part of the county but are looking to upgrade their employment. Both of these centers provide:

- Programs to help find a job or a better job;
- Education, Apprenticeships, Vocational Training Programs;
- Programs for Contracting, Small or Home Businesses
- Individual Specialized Coaching

Also be aware that the Provo Center usually conducts a Career Workshop on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, call for specific information 801-818-6161.
Also consider reviewing the wealth of information available on lds.org (click on Home & Family – then click on Employment and review all that is of interest or help). You may also check ldsjobs.org.

Once again we remind ALL Ward members that a number of individuals within our ranks are in need of employment or job upgrades. One of the most important keys to finding a job is networking with people who learn of companies who may be hiring and then passing that information on as quickly as possible to those needing jobs. If you are aware of employment opportunities please call Carl Mackay at 224-4885 and leave a message if he is not able to answer at the time.
