At a time when unemployment levels are
unacceptably high, it is critical that we do all that we can to make it
easier for local businesses to expand and create the jobs that our
community need. The sense of purpose, accomplishment and productivity
that comes with a job cannot be bestowed by government. It is created
and grown in the heart of every Employee, Business Owner and
Entrepreneur.
No matter the issue, having a job gives you a
sense of self, enables you to participate in your community and gives
you a vested interest in the way your government operates.
“Many people are uncertain about the
future economy and need to be empowered. Using a holistic approach,
the expo workshops focus on the mental, physical and financial well
being of attendees. This develops competitive advantage in the 21st
century for confident management of careers and small businesses.” states Carl E. Reid, Chief Operations Officer with Empowering Today’s Professionals.
