EATON — YMCA is hosting nine events in the Dayton area, geared to help job seekers find a fulfilling career, with great pay, and no requirement of a four year degree. Preble County’s YMCA will be holding its event on Thursday, June 22, at 6:30 p.m.
The Dayton YMCA, Spectrum Career, LLC, and Sinclair College are hosting free events for unhappily employed, under-employed or unemployed Miami Valley residents at nine YMCA locations through and June 22. According to an August 2016 Gallup poll, 46 percent of American adults working full or part-time and are not completely satisfied with their job.
If you are one of them, join many others at your local YMCA for an event that outlines a practical step by step system for getting the career direction you have been looking for, but haven’t known where to start. Register at www.JobSearchThatWorks.com/YMCA.
Step II Grad Calvin Feltman said, “I went from waiting tables to getting a full-time job and actually progress into adulthood…”
Step II Grad Drew Schell said, “Overall, Sinclair gave me a really good base to start my machining career.”
“My life has been changed by Step II in the fact that I now have a direction where I want to go in my future. It’s really set me on the path to what I really want to do in my life,” added Anthony Carballo, Step II Grad.
