New career training program kicks off for displaced workers in West Virginia
West Virginia’s vibrancy, resilience and growth depend on the ability to give all West Virginians the right educational and training opportunities to unlock their full potential and contribute to the state’s economic growth.
Marshall University's new program, Creating Opportunity for Recovery Employment (CORE), aims to support these efforts. The program, led by director Terick E. Thomas, will develop a regional system to provide job training and placement assistance for displaced workers suffering from the effects of the downturn in coal production and the opioid epidemic in rural and southern West Virginia.
CORE is charged with developing a regional infrastructure that can provide career training and placement for displaced workers, including career advising expertise to patients regarding the job-search process, interviewing, resume, letter writing and other areas of career planning.
