MontcoWorks NOW

We had a great time visiting Allan Myers Inc. yesterday with the Montgomery County Youth Committee! Our tour was held at Allan Myers headquarters, and we learned about the history of the company. We also heard about all the great benefits they offer and what they look for in an employee. This information helps us connect youth to opportunities that fit their skills and interests.

Happy Friday to our Facebook Community!! Take a look at the MCIU Career Connections Newsletter to learn all about what the MWN team has been up to this winter. We are proud to share some of the amazing accomplishments our youth participants have achieved recently. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

We had a great time volunteering at the annual Careers of Tomorrow event hosted by Montgomery County's Commerce Department and Workforce Development Board. It is an exciting opportunity for our youth to connect to local employers and start to plan for their future in the workforce.
