I am certain that this will help to boost the economy there.”This position will offer classes and workshops to assist adults in resume writing, interviewing techniques, on-site employer

recruiting and other critical ser-vices, as well as serve as case manager for job seekers.“This new initiative supports Wickenburg’s major employ-ers by building a strong local workforce, and the addition of another staff person will enable us to provide highly requested Saturday hours at the library,” commented Mayor Cook. “I am excited by the opportunities this partnership presents and appre-ciative of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, in particu-lar the leadership of District 4 Supervisor Clint Hickman.”Both the Wickenburg Town Council and the County Board of Supervisors have approved the intergovernmental agreement creating the position, financed through the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act.“This partnership will bolster opportunities for local peo-ple and expand company foot-prints in the region,” explained Patricia Wallace, director of the Workforce Development Division of the Maricopa County Human Services Department. “Wickenburg is a great place to live, work and play.”
