Patch Staff Report

The Georgia Mountains Regional Commission’s Mobile Training Unit is scheduled to visit the Cumming Library on Tuesday, April 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This unique workforce development tool offers free access to resume writing software, helps prepare users for interviews, provides access to online interest surveys and assessments, and offers computer typing software.

The Mobile Training Unit first visited the Forsyth County Public Library in November 2013. Due to the positive response of the visits, the Mobile Training Unit will continue to visit the library on a monthly basis.

In addition to the upcoming visit, the service will be offered to the community on Tuesday, May 20 and Tuesday, June 17. During each of their visits, the Mobile Training Unit staff will welcome patrons from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on a drop in basis.

Since June 2013, the Mobile Training Units and their operating team have assisted hundreds of individuals in job hunting. Serving Banks, Dawson, Forsyth, Franklin, Habersham, Hall, Hart, Lumpkin, Rabun, Stephens, Towns, Union, and White counties, the team has offered a unique learning opportunity by partnering with libraries, food banks, adult learning centers and various community organizations.
