UACCM Announces New Workforce Training Courses
The
University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton Department of Workforce
and Community Education announced at the February 13, 2016 job fair new,
short-term workforce training courses and workshops available to individuals
who wish to learn skills for a new career or to advance in their current career.
These
new trainings include a four-week Nursing
Assisting program, a four -week

five-week HVAC program. While the cost
on these trainings in minimal, dislocated workers and long-term unemployed
persons can apply through the Arkansas Sector Partnership Grant to take the class for free. Additional financial assistance may be
available depending on eligibility. More
information about these programs, as well as the link to register, can be found
at www.uaccm.edu/workforce.
In addition to these trainings, UACCM has developed
a FREE Resume and Job Search Workshop that is open to anyone. Participants will learn how to create their
best resume and get tips for effective job searches. This training was developed out of a need
realized at the recent job fair, where job seekers were lined up waiting for a
chance to meet with workers from the Governor’s
Dislocated Worker Task Force Mobile Unit,
UACCM employees, and volunteers from the Workforce Centers of Russelville,
Morrilton, and Conway to receive resume and job search assistance. More information about this workshop, as well
as a link to register, can also be found at www.uaccm.edu/workforce.
UACCM
will be holding another FREE job fair on April 9, 2016 from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
in the Kirk Building. For more
