Take Me Home, Country Roads
I am headed back to Michigan, not necessarily for the reasons I would like, but for a week I will be home with my family.
The community college in my area of the state is trying to up their efforts to help the unemployed as the automotive industry takes a turn for the worst and more people find themselves jobless. The college has already given effort to assist the general public, not just students, find employment. Unfortunatly, as they have found, many of these individuals are not familar with computers, much less are they able to perform job searches (as many companies turn to online jobsites for their postings) and they have not the manpower or tools available to be effective.
My work with a local business college in Michigan has linked me up with the community college to assist in training these individuals. This weekend we aim to begin our lessons, and I can only hope I can be of some use. I will admit, I feel a little intimidated, I am not by any means a computer ‘guru’, and it seems as though I am being left in charge of this effort though I have no doubt I will be recieving plenty of assistance.
