My company attends the Homecoming Job Fair every year. I cannot begin to say how impressed I am with all of the effort the local NCWorks office puts in to it. It is our most successful hiring event of the entire year.

The On-the-Job Training Program has been a godsend. We needed staff badly but didn't have the funds to hire someone. With the wage reimbursement, not only could we bring on a new employee, we had enough to make him a permanent full-time offer.
