SOCIAL AND COMMUNITY NEWS
Hungry Club Forum to Explore Local
Training Opportunities for Jobs
Shevon Carr
On Saturday March
6, 2010, at 9:30 AM, in the
Multipurpose Annex of the
West Broad Street YMCA,
located at 1110 May Street.
The Hungry Club
Forum of Savannah, Inc.
(HCFS), will delve into an
issue of great concern in the
local community and the
nation. As the economy
rebounds, “What Can Adults
and Youths Do to Position
Themselves for the
Traditional and New Jobs
that Will Become
Available?”
To present and facilitate
this roundtable exploration,
HCFS has tapped the expert
ise one of its own members
Shevon Carr, M.B.A., owner
of SheCarr Professional
Services. Economic experts
continue to assert that the
economy is slowly moving
on the upswing, but that
employment and jobs growth
is moving at a slower pace.
Studies show that many
unemployed and underem
ployed people are taking
advantage of the unique
opportunities out there to
upgrade and advance their
knowledge and training for
the jobs that are projected to
be available once the econo
my rebounds.
Through Stimulus
funding and other workforce
development initiatives, there
continues to be opportunities
for education, training and
retraining for those willing to
invest the effort to avail
themselves of these opportu
nities.
Over the last thirty
years, Carr, a past member of
the Board of Directors of the
Savannah Economic
Development Authority
(SEDA) and a 1992 graduate
of Leadership Savannah, has
served in numerous financial,
administrative and teaching
positions in the administra
tions of Savannah State
University and Savannah
Technical College.
She recently retired as Vice
President of Student Services
at Savannah Tech.
The HCFS first-
Saturday breakfast forums
are open to the general pub
lic. For more information,
