The
Fall River Workforce Investment Board
(WIB) and the Career
Centers invited employers and business representatives to the Quequechan
Club on June 23, 2010 to learn more about workforce incentives and
other resources available to them. WIB Executive Director Tom Perreira
welcomed about 75 participants to the three-hour event and then introduced
panelists Lou Gunning of Meditech,
Mary Anne Saab of Kelly
Services and Kelly Fess of Stop
and Shop who each described their own positive experiences in working
with the Career Center. Worksite Health Coordinator Jasiel Correia II was
on hand to talk with employers about how they might increase their
resources for health maintenance and improvement. The project is part of
an effort by the Southcoast
Worksite Health and Wellness Collaborative and Healthy City Fall River
to encourage small employers to address wellness among their employees.
More information about the project can be obtained by calling or e-mailing
Mr. Correia at 508-496-1433. Click
