Starting Oct. 11th 18th on every Tuesday at 10am the PCC will be holding a Job Club meeting. What is a Job Club? It’s a place for people to meet who are looking for a job or career change to help each other out in a positive way. This club will be run by the participants and the first order of business will be to choose a formal name for the Job Club. Everyone attending should be prepared to share something with the group – a tip on a company that is hiring, an idea for a discussion topic, maybe a success story, or just a question for the group.
