The aim of the focus groups is to help bridge the gap between employers and hard-working people that are looking to elevate themselves into full-time, higher skill, higher wage positions.
Organizers hope to learn more about the challenges so they can better communicate the challenges to employers and work with employers to remove the obstacles.
For those attending, organizers will also offer information on existing resources that can aid in the transition from job to career.
