Finding qualified workers is a challenge for many employers. Imagine a one-stop shop that could do everything from help a company analyze its available labor market, design customized employee recruiting programs, screen and qualify those applicants, and help train them. In North Central Indiana, that one-stop shop now exists in the form of REACH the Regional Employment Assessment Center for Hiring. This concept was developed by the Tecumseh Area Partnership and the ribbon cutting is May 10, 2007. Some of the specific REACH services include:
- regional labor market information
- customized worker recruitment
- employment verification
- marketing resources
- employee background and reference checking
- drug testing
- customized screening services
- business training
- access to grant funding
The North Central Indiana WIRED region has been a financial supporter of REACH and hopes to replicate another center in Kokomo in 2008. The REACH Center is located a 976 Mezzanine Dr., Suite B in Lafayette, IN. The ribbon cutting is scheduled for 10 am on Thursday May 10.
