Free Wireless Work Program
The old adage, “It’s who you know, not what you know that is important,” is the guiding principal behind the Wireless Work program. Wireless Work is a series of free,  interactive, online classes that equip people with disabilities to overcome barriers to employment by using internet based relationship development to create personal connections with those inside companies. These relationships are bridges and tunnels over and under HR screening barriers and to a personal connection with those actually doing the hiring. Without them, you’re just another applicant, just another resume in a pile of hundreds. To find out more about Wireless Work and how to participate, call or email Greg Makely at 609-468-7420 or Email Greg Makely.
