Dear Community Members,
I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for your help and support with the new e-blast. Your input and suggestions from the survey have been incredibly valuable, and based on the feedback we received, I am excited to share that we will be providing resources every Monday.
For the first week, we will be focusing on jobseeker resources including Employment Opportunities, Community Resources, Training Resources, Upcoming Trainings & Events, and Reminders and Opportunities. The following week will shift to employer resources such as Business Resources, Educational Networking, Community Announcements, and Upcoming Trainings & Events. We plan to rotate these resources bi-weekly.
If you provide any resources for jobseekers or employers related to employment, training, or education, please send them to me for possible inclusion in our next e-blast.
Once again, thank you all for your invaluable help and support.
Best regards,
Mahir Hasanov CareerCenter Services Manager mahir.hasanov@maine.gov
Maine Department of Labor Bureau of Employment Services 151 Jetport Blvd, Portland, ME 04102 Cell phone: 207-248-2934
