Luzerne/Schuylkill Workforce Investment Board, Inc.

PA Sen. John P. Blake, a member of the Senate Labor and Industry Committee, sought information and input directly from a group of job seekers in hopes of finding new ideas that may help the unemployed.

In November, the senator joined members of the PA CareerLink® Job Club of Wilkes-Barre at one of the group’s weekly meetings in the PA Wilkes-Barre CareerLink® office.

The Luzerne/Schuylkill Workforce Investment Board (L/S WIB) and PA CareerLink®, Pottsville Office, held a special event for youth and adults with disabilities to help them find employment locally.

The Career Fair for Individuals With Disabilities was held at the PA CareerLink®, Pottsville office, 203 E. Arch St., on Thursday. 

Representatives from business and industry, nonprofit organizations and the public sector who promote employing those with disabilities participated in the career fair and provided information on their organizations and positions in their companies.
