WORKFORCE BOARD URGES EMPLOYERS TO HIRE YOUNG PEOPLE THIS SUMMER SO THAT EVERYONE IN NORTHWEST INDIANA WINS! 

    The Northwest Indiana Workforce Board (NWIWB) Youth Employment Council urges employers to step-to-the-plate by hiring a young person in need of employment this summer.

     "The council is asking you to hire a young person this summer, whether it's bussing tables, answering phones, or cleaning and landscaping," said Gerry Scheff, NWIWB chair, and Keith Kirkpatrick, Youth Employment Council chair, in a March 2012 letter to employers.  "Our region's young people need jobs this summer and by hiring one of them you will be teaching them the skills that will help them for the future — expecially the soft skills that many employers says job applicants are lacking."
