Like our Governor, the CareerSource network is
all about jobs!
At CareerSource Capital Region we see a bright
future for the youth in our region. Given that we have two fine Universities
and the best community college in America with TCC, the talent that is
available to local businesses is great.
The jobs most in demand in our region – Nurses
top the list as usual, then truck driver, retail supervisors, retail sales,
customer service representatives, and web developers.
Our top employers are government, education,
healthcare, retail, and hospitality. So a wide range of opportunities exist
here in the Capital Region.
Serving Gadsden, Leon, and Wakulla counties,
CareerSource Capital Region’s Career Centers are working with the school
systems in all three counties. We have a youth program funded by the Department
of Labor that serves in-school and out of school youth. We have a youth council
that connects the various agencies that serve youth like Big Brothers Big
Sisters, Goodwill DISC Village, Tallahassee Urban League, and the United Way of
the Big Bend. Together, we are building an integral systems approach to service
that leverages our individual assets to more effectively serve our community.
On this day, about 25 years ago, I brought my
daughter to work and gave her a tour of a steel mill that I called on for the
family business. She is now a Mechanical Engineer with a Master’s Degree
working for the Navy. I believe that tour opened her eyes to the possibilities
she would not have considered had I not taken her and shown her some amazing
processes of making steel.
In closing, CareerSource Capital Region works
with employers and job seekers to find the career opportunities best suited for
the desires and talents of our youth.
Thank You
