Training in Person
"I truly enjoyed the training at the Belfast Free Library today. I have been unemployed for 18 months and have attended many workshops/trainings to prepare for a new career. I found today's training clear, concise and especially, pertinent. My specific questions and concerns were addressed and I was encouraged to seek additional advice through the MSL website. Additionally, the "Learning Express Library" and "Getting a Job" options provide necessary support for this job seeker! Thanks for this opportunity.
