New job computer training options for unemployed Los Angeles area residents were unveiled Friday.Fifteen people have been signed up for a six-week computer skills training program that will begin Monday at the new Los Angeles computer training center.

Instruction includes computer,customer service skills, basic computer and keyboarding, job searching and job retention training.

"This is a great example of a community partnership that has done intensive research and found the most effective ways to provide for both the needs of local employers and for Los Angeles-area residents who need jobs,'' He described it as an "exciting opportunity'' and said it was a key element in strengthening the local economy.Graduates will complete two high school credits and can obtain two additional credits when they acquire paid or volunteer employment.

Polly Smith of Ontario Works said a partnership with local businesses will provide links to local employers who are hiring and participants will be shown the various types of customer service jobs available.Smith said the program was originally developed after discussion with area businesses that were hiring but had difficulty finding applicants with the right skill sets.

Participants for the first session have been referred from various agencies who work with the unemployed including Ontario Works, Walpole Island First Nations Economic Development and Training and Community Living Wallaceburg's jobmatch program.

Smith said the program was piloted in Chatham in January and enabled participants to finish their Grade 12 with most finding employment within four weeks of the training. For more information visit: www.abcotechnology.com
