Human Resource Association Supports Unemployed Members with Voucher System

As this economy continues to slow and many of our colleagues are losing jobs, it is critical for local professionals to continue networking to maintain connections and seek new job opportunities. One local professional chapter is helping its unemployed members to maintain their professional connections without any additional financial hardship. The Capital Region Human Resource Association (CRHRA) has established a confidential Voucher System to assist members in career transition with their job search and development. To ensure that members can continue to connect with their colleagues, CRHRA offers an opportunity for active members who are currently unemployed to continue attending up to two meetings (per year) at no cost to them The average cost per meeting is $30. The CRHRA Workforce Readiness Committee and Board of Directors hope this program will help unemployed members with critical networking opportunities important for a successful job search, especially during challenging economic times. For information about CRHRA, call 463-8687 or visit www.crhra.org.
