The Regional Economic Development Center [REDC] at Yavapai College — in association with the Northern Arizona Council of Governments and numerous cities in Northern Arizona — is hosting a free webinar on Tuesday, Apr. 14 at 2 p.m. entitled “The Yavapai County Business Assistance & Displaced Employees Community Forum.”
A Q&A session will follow the webinar.
The purpose of the webinar is to help Yavapai County businesses and displaced workers navigate the difficulties they are experiencing due to the COVID-19 crisis. The webinar will touch on a series of topics and will be presented by four economic development and employment organizations:
- NACOG will familiarize participants with resources at their disposal, including unemployment benefits and other aspects of federal aid.
- The Small Business Development Center at Yavapai College will provide an overview of the Small Business Association’s loan programs that are currently available.
- ARIZONA@WORK will be sharing the availability of jobs throughout the state.
- REDC will present its online job fair.
“Our goal is to provide resources and connections to aid businesses and employees during this challenging period,” Interim REDC Director Karen Jones said. “As the federal and state governments are working quickly to put support in place, your local and county agencies are positioning our services to assist you in accessing these resources. One of the most important messages is that we [your community chambers, towns, cities, agencies and community college] are coming together as a group to support your needs.”
