LEWISTON — The Lewiston CareerCenter, 5 Mollison Way, Lewiston, continues its monthly programming, including workshops for job seekers and those who are considering training to upgrade their skills to increase the employability.

The Industry Information Tuesday continues to highlight specific industries so that individuals can learn more about jobs available in our community and the skills, knowledge areas and abilities that employers are seeking from job applicants. The June Industry Information Tuesday will be held June 15 from 9 to 11 a.m. and will feature the transportation, distribution and logistics sector. Area employers and training institutions will be on hand to help job seekers learn more about the jobs available in the transportation, distribution and logistics industry and training opportunities that may be required for some jobs. Registration is required for this event.

The center continues to hold networking groups to assist job seekers as networking continues to be the most important aspect of job search. Every Monday at 1 p.m., the Unemployed Professionals Group meets to support unemployed and underemployed professionals. Each week, a guest speaker from the business community address the group on a topic related to personal or professional development or job search skills.

The Focus on Your Job Search Group meets every Tuesday at 2 p.m. Participants meet with an employment counselor and other business and community experts to discuss job search challenges and strategies. Participants will receive support, mentoring and guidance for a successful job search.
