Unfortunately, our company was forced to close due to the loss of a big contract. The staff from NCWorks Asheville came out to our layoff announcement and told all of our employees about the services that were available to them. They graciously stayed most of the day until all of our questions were answered.

Being a small business owner and a veteran myself, I was very surprised at how many services are available to those people with a military background. I am in the process right now of hiring two veterans and I will be taking advantage of the WOTC.
