Just about everywhere you look you can find one sign...Help Wanted. The Bismarck-Mandan Workforce Development Committee is now working on ways to bring more people to the area. The group consists of nine business leaders in the community. Recently some members of the group went to a job fair in Grand Rapids, Michigan and came back with a list of more than one hundred people willing to move to the Bismarck-Mandan community. However, the main concern from those people is finding the money it takes to move. Steve Herman is the chairman of the group, he says if something is not done soon...we will begin to lose businesses looking at coming. (Steve Herman/ BMDA Workforce Development Committee) We need workers. We already have one company that has turned us down for 500 jobs because they did not believe we can supply the workforce. That is an important issue. That is somethng that needs to be addressed. While at the job fair in Grand Rapids, the group had people fill out a survey. On October 29th, the group will release the results.  « Less
