Library Awarded Grant for Career and Job Seeking Programs

The library was recently awarded a federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grant in the amount of $7,500 from the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC). Our grant project, titled Pathways to Success, will allow the library to improve its support to our job-seeking adult patrons by offering computer software training classes, resume writing and interview skills workshops, social networking workshops, and by expanding the career and job search resources available at the library.

If you are an older adult looking for a new job, a career change or are interested in getting back into the workforce after a break, this grant will benefit you! As a first step, we need your feedback. Your completion of the short survey found at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MPLJobSeekers will help us tailor our upcoming grant-funded programming to best fit your needs. Programs and classes will begin in January 2019.
