“How To Find Employees In A Challenging Labor Market” will be the subject of the Genesee County Chamber of Commerce’s latest business workshop on Wednesday, Feb. 12.

“Any business that is in need of more employees should attend this workshop,” said Tom Turnbull, president of the Genesee County Chamber of Commerce. “Unemployment is low and the pool of capable workers is shrinking.

"This informational session will show businesses how state and county programs can help attract and retain workers in today’s labor market.”

The Chamber is partnering with the Genesee County Job Development Bureau for this presentation. It will be held at the Genesee County Career Center, 587 E. Main St., Batavia.

The workshop is scheduled to start at 8 a.m. and should last approximately one hour.

This event is free for Chamber and Downtown Batavia Business Improvement District members. There is a $10 charge for non-members.

To register, contact Kelly Bermingham at the Chamber by phone at 585-343-7440 or by email at: kbermingham@geneseeny.com.
