The 8-week program will focus on workforce training and workforce experience. The program is designed for individuals ages 18-24.
“We Connect the Dots is a great resource for our residents to utilize, and I encourage those who are looking to acquire new skills for their resumes to take full advantage of these fantastic workshops,” Supervisor DeSena said. “Thank you to Nassau County and We Connect the Dots for partnering with the Town to present workforce training and workforce experience opportunities that will help our residents find new and meaningful employment opportunities.”
“We are excited to have this partnership with We Connect The Dots to offer this workshop for our residents,” said Council Member Robert Troiano, Jr. “This 8-week program will provide participants with marketable technological skills that will make them job ready.
