Business Services Check out these testimonials from local employers that utilized Business Services in 2012: ‚I stumbled across the Job Center . . . at least 6 years ago. Since that time, as a Human Resource Manager, I have relied on workforce development to assist with the following: Supplying seasonal temporary employment at no cost to the village; Posting help wanted advertisements at no cost (so the village could reach out to local residents in need of work); Various training & development seminars and workshops that have improved my own skills as an HR Manager dealing with employment issues, acts and laws in Illinois; and Co-sponsoring annual employment expos with the village. During a time when budgets have been slashed everywhere; the Job Center continues to provide little to no cost opportunities to bring business and job candidates together, addressing the vital need to fight unemployment in our county.‛ Nancy, Human Resource Manager, Village of Round Lake Beach I have used the services of the Lake County Workforce Development numerous times during the past years to help find and hire qualified technicians for my shop.
