2012 Workshops & Events-NEW!

Dear Customer,

At the Larimer County Workforce Center, we strive to provide the community with easy access to the highest quality employment and training services. We value the opportunity to support the job seekers of our community - and we recognize the importance of sustaining access to these vital services. In response to emerging needs from our job seekers, we are launching optional, fee-based workshops and events that are designed for specialized job search needs. These build upon the foundation for an effective job search that our free services provide--a foundation that starts with our exceptional free workshops which are critical for all job seekers to conduct an effective job search. The Workforce Center will begin offering the new, specialized workshops and events for a fee in early 2012.

The funds generated will preserve the essential services we currently offer and will allow us to meet new needs of customers while maintaining our highest standard of service. We are launching specialized workshops and events in early 2012 and expect to add to our menu of specialized services as the year progresses. As we created the new offerings, we surveyed job seekers to learn about the services that are most important in our community, and to learn about fees that customers see as a strong value at an affordable cost. The result: A valuable menu of workshops and events that are designed to better meet the specialized needs of the job seekers in our community.

Below you will find a listing of the workshops and events that we are offering in 2012--both the free and the fee-based offerings. Please visit our website at www.larimerworkforce.org for more information and to register for any of these services. Fees associated with specialized services will be clearly identified on the website.
