New Partnership Brings Workforce Readiness Opportunities to South Omaha Community

Heartland Workforce Solutions (HWS) (www.hws-ne.org) has expanded their reach in the South Omaha community by making their services available at the Latino Center of the Midlands (LCM) (www.latinocenterofthemidlands.org). Individuals and families served by the LCM now have access to a vast array of workshops and tutorials to search for jobs, write a resume, and prepare for job interviews, as well as opportunities to attend career exploration and networking tours and job fairs. An open house was held March 9 to introduce the community to HWS’ new South Omaha location.

As a collective impact organization, the mission of Heartland Workforce Solutions is to promote and develop a workforce system that is responsive to the needs of business and career seekers resulting in economic prosperity. Heartland Workforce Solutions locates their services nearest to people living in areas of higher unemployment and poverty. Its principal office is located at 5752 Ames Street in Omaha. Some programming has eligibility criteria, but most services offered by HWS are available to all people seeking careers.
