The Alliance for Workforce Development has announced the opening of the organization’s new fire recovery office in Chester, primarily focusing on recovery initiatives for the Dixie and Sugar (Beckwourth Complex) Fires and assisting with navigation of the impacts these wildfires have had on our communities.
This new office, located at 328 Main Street, suite 3, will serve both Lassen and Plumas County residents impacted by those fires.
“We encourage clients to visit us as we provide no-cost resume development, unemployment application assistance, community referrals, training and job placement support,” says Marketing Manager Lyndsey Theobald.
“Businesses can also utilize our resources to support their workforce needs; recruitment assistance, training support and On-The-Job Training funding to alleviate strain while recovering.”
Four experienced AFWD Team Members make up the new Chester office and are eager to assist our community – Jerri Nielsen, Business Services Representative; Josh Bradley, Career Center Advisor; Pamela Sylvia, Career Center Advisor; and Valerie Bourque, Resource and Referral Coordinator.
Visit the office today if you have any questions or need assistance. If you cannot make it into the office, you can also chat directly with the AFWD Staff on the AFWD website.
