orkOne Northern Indiana has teamed with Capital Wealth Advisors, a division of Indiana Community Bank, to provide meeting space for 450 job seekers every month to strengthen their skills by attending WorkOne’s training workshops; the donated rooms for workshop gatherings will be used during a construction project at WorkOne Elkhart County, 430 Waterfall Drive, in Elkhart.

SKILLS-BUILDING WORKSHOPS  
MOVE TO FOUR ARTS BUILDING
Beginning Nov. 28, 2011, the skills-training workshops will be held at the Four Arts Building, 311 West High Street, in Elkhart. Indiana Community Bank owns the structure, which stands next to the bank. Workforce development managers anticipate that workshops will return to the WorkOne Elkhart County facility in early February 2012.

“This donation of meeting space shows a generous sense of commitment to the community by Capital Wealth Advisors and Indiana Community Bank, and WorkOne would like to thank them on behalf of 450 Hoosiers who typically attend the training sessions every month,” said Chuck Knebl, communications manager for WorkOne Northern Indiana, designated as Economic Growth Region 2 in the state’s 12-region framework.

“I understand the importance of these valuable workshops,” added Tripp Bradford, investment advisor for Capital Wealth Advisors, a division of Indiana Community Bank. Bank officials are pleased to help job seekers, Bradford noted.

The workshops are free of charge to Indiana residents; presented by WorkOne Elkhart County, the training sessions cover topics including:

	basic and intermediate skills to use computers;
	Internet skills such as using social media sites, conducting online job searches and security;
	using software to accomplish tasks such as word processing, calculations, making presentations and online learning;
	job-search skills such as writing a solid resume, communicating well during an interview and networking within an occupation;
	polishing an elevator speech and personal brand so that you can market yourself to potential employers;
	how to contribute to a team effort in a workplace; and
	household budgeting.
