Easter Seals Southern Nevada Adult and Dislocated Worker

Easter Seals Southern Nevada (ESSN) has recently been awarded an employment grant that names them as a provider to help place Adult and Dislocated Workers back into the workforce.

Overseeing the grant is Nevada Workforce Connections.

The mission of ESSN is to create solutions that help people with disabilities become self-sufficient through education, community partnerships and direct services. Although ESSN is best known for its outstanding record in assisting people with disabilities, this grant will concentrate on helping get all Nevadans back to work.

Nevada Workforce Connections develops a world class workforce through innovative market driven strategies that are relevant to Southern Nevada’s employers and job seekers.

ESSN has already begun placing job seekers into the program by conducting interviews that help identify job history, education or educational needs, qualifications and skill sets. The grant allows for supportive services needed to assist prospective employees in becoming “work ready”. There is no charge to job seekers or employers.

Businesses are urged to contact ESSN for free assistance in job placement services. Candidates are pre-screened by job developers to make sure that they meet the qualifications for the open positions.

“This part of the grant is especially beneficial to the HR departments of our local businesses,” says Pam Lang, Job Developer for ESSN. “We send only candidates that we feel are a good fit, allowing us to save businesses time and money”.

Employers may contact ESSN for assistance in finding qualified, work ready employers by calling job developers Pam Lang at 702-789-5435 or Sandy Trujillo at 702-789-5434.
