| We have completed the end of our first year of the WORK.COM
Computer Training program. Thanks to the Counselors for their support of this program to date we have served 28 persons. Several of these persons used the training as a refresher to assist them as they prepared for college. At this time we have several spaces available in both Blount and Sevier counties for persons wishing to receive training and placement assistance. This program is offered through a grant from the Tennessee Division of Rehabilitation Services and is intended to offer training to individuals regardless of disability. There are no experiential or prerequisites to enroll. Persons wishing to enroll in classes should call 865-594-6064 to be referred.
