Across the country, Americans are starting to see the economy improving in tangible ways, and in Toledo, Ohio, Jeep is putting people back to work.
This week, WTVG, an ABC affiliate in Toledo, reported that unemployed residents were getting prepared for the Jeep expansion which will create more than a thousand new jobs in the area next year. The community is supporting prospective employees by helping them update their resumes and teaching them how to impress an employer in an interview. In particular, the One Village community has rallied for its residents by offering assistance in resume writing and teaching standard computer skills.
Beth Lewandowski, current Secretary of the Neighborhood Representatives on the United Village Council, explained why the community needs to prepare for new jobs, stating, “The job market has changed. The skills that people had when they first got employed out of high school have changed and we know that as a fact.” This early training will make these applicants better employees and create a smoother transition, especially if a prospective employee has been out of work for awhile.
