Workforce Development hosts
27th Annual Alumni Awards Luncheon

NEPTUNE, NJ – The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the Monmouth County Workforce Development Board recently honored 27 individuals who successfully completed training programs made available by the American Job Center Network at the 27th Annual Alumni Awards Luncheon.

“It is individuals like you that make working on the Workforce Development Team an immediately rewarding experience each year,” said Freeholder Deputy Director Pat Impreveduto, liaison to the Division of Workforce Development. “The success that you have demonstrated deepens our commitment to future trainees on their journey to be self-sustainable.”

The Division of Workforce Development provides services at the American Job Center Network to assist job seekers who are searching for employment. Training, career counselors and job seeking services are available to help residents who are searching for employment or who already have a job and are looking for a new career.

“All of the alumni who worked to graduate from their respective programs have faced numerous obstacles in their pursuit to find a job,” said Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone. “With the support of the Monmouth County Workforce Development programs, many of these individuals were able to attend community college, private schools, trade and vocational schools.”
