I thought you would like to hear that one of LeaderQuest's clients/students found the Fair to be a very valuable experience.

I made contact with several technical recruiters and three companies looking for someone with my skill set. As a result of my experience yesterday I have a newly refreshed positive attitude towards my career search.  I handed out about a dozen resumes and heard about some very exciting opportunities that are right up my alley.

Thank You again!  K.W.

Dozens of LeaderQuest students walked away from the most recent career fair with a handful of job prospects.  Common was the comment, "I got more job leads today than I have at any career fair I have ever been to."

With dozens of recruiters and hiring directors from several nationwide employers, the May 20 event held at LeaderQuest's Denver office was the most successful career fair to date, proving that our unique approach to getting individuals trained, certified and hired is more than working.  With more than twice the number of hiring directors on hand, LeaderQuest invited not just students, but opened its doors to non-students as well, a move that showcases the desire to expand our staffing effort.

Companies are now depending on LeaderQuest to fill key positions.

One of those that found a job at the career fair is none other than James Hollenbeck, a shining example of what can happen when federal funding makes it possible for recently displaced workers to use  a provider like LeaderQuest to develop the skills for sustainable career success in the job marketplace.  For more than a year James was unemployed, under skilled and disillusioned by his situation.  With the backing of the Workforce Investment Act, James was able to retool, find a job and ultimately, get his life back on track.

From his first day as a student until now, Hollenbeck's attitude and demeanor has completely changed.  He walks a little taller and with a wider smile, as someone who is confident in himself.

With the collaboration of the workforce counselors in many statewide counties, LeaderQuest is changing the lives of those affected by the economic downturn and those that just simply need a helping hand to get their career jumpstarted.

This is an exciting time for the LeaderQuest family!
