Northwest Regional Workforce Investment Board reaching out to older residents

Northwest Regional Workforce Investment Board is offering a new program designed to provide low-income people 55 and older with virtual access to jobs skills training.  New Milford Mayor Pete Bass says the initiative will also connect older job seekers with access to job development services.  Laptops and internet hot spots are provided to participants who cannot get to job training sites in person, for example, those who live in rural areas or are caring for family members. Participants are also paired with a training consultant to enroll in online courses, and update their skills.  Applicants must have basic computer skills, and reside in Waterbury, Danbury, Torrington and the other 38 towns in the Northwest workforce region.  Program slots are limited.
