OCTOBER 8, 2017
Teleworks USA hosted its Grand Opening Ceremony on Friday, October 6, 2017 at the Lawrence Co. Community Center.
What a great day for Lawrence Co. KY.
Michael Cornett, Director of Agency Expansion Teleworks stated, ” We are proud to show off our newest hub right here in Lawrence Co. What we are doing here is bringing our proven workshop model that’s proven itself in 7 other hubs in Eastern Kentucky.”
“We bring students through a very fast and moving curriculum based on Customer Service, Tech Support and Digital Literacy and prepare them to be the very best candidate for literally thousands of jobs. These are all work-at-home jobs, full time or part time, with benefits. This is our 8th hub in Eastern Kentucky,” Cornett said.
The hub opened right after Labor Day with 20 students. Eleven (11) of those have jobs now and are working with combined salaries in excess of $280,000.
The hub space in Louisa boasts 30 fully equipped terminals for Teleworks USA’s customer service and digital literacy workshops, along with a limited number of workstations that will allow teleworkers temporary workspace as they transition to a work-from-home setting.
The next class begins on November 5, 2017. The class is quickly filling up so get in early by contacting Betty Hays or Katelyn Dunn at the center.
“We are pleased to bring this opportunity to Lawrence County,” said Lawrence Co. Judge-Executive John Osborne. “It is proven to create jobs, and a lot of people can benefit from it. We thank everyone who helped make this possible.”
