LAKE COUNTY – Lake County Department of Social Services and Arbor Education and Training will present a new subsidized employment program to potential employers.

This program is funded with newly available federal stimulus dollars with the goal of placing qualified participants in jobs to stimulate the local economy.

To be eligible to participate, employers must have had to cut back on employees because of the economy.

The Lake County Department of Social Services will reimburse employers the wages and taxes for qualified employees.

The employer will, in turn, provide supervision and training to the participants.

They are offering informational meetings for employers about this program at the Job Zone, located at 9055 Highway 53, Lower Lake.

Informational meetings will be held on Jan. 7 at 2 p.m. and Jan. 13 at 6 p.m.

The agency is excited to present this new program and hope that any potential employers will attend.

Space is limited, so please, RSVP to Jeremiah at 707-995-9015.
