The following is a news release from the Flagler County communications office:
The Flagler County Veterans Services Office has arranged for a series of veterans’ employment seminars to be held at the Emergency Operations Center the last three days of the month of March.
The Veteran Infused Employment Workshop, also known as VIEW, is provided through the Orlando VA Medical Center. The seminars are aimed specifically at the needs of veterans looking for jobs in the Central Florida area.
“We get a lot of requests for help finding employment,” said Sal Rutigliano, Flagler County Veterans Services Officer. “These seminars were being held regularly in South Daytona, so I asked about having them come here. We have 12,537 veterans here who could benefit from this.”
The first seminar, “Creating Your Job Search Tactics and Network,” will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on March 29. “Goals, Resumes and Interviewing” will be covered from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on March 30. The longest seminar, “Performance Excellence, Mock Interviews and Graduation,” will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on March 31.
The seminars will be limited to about 30 people.
“We want these to be a typical class size so participants get individual attention,” Rutigliano said. “We expect this to be successful, and then we will schedule additional seminars.”
To sign up for the seminars, contact Annie Artis with Orlando VA Medical Center at 407-629-1599, ext. 28846, [email protected]. For information about Flagler County Veterans Services, contact Sal Rutigliano at 386-313-4014, [email protected].
The following is a news release from the Florida Highway Patrol:
Beginning March 11, the Florida Highway Patrol’s commercial vehicle enforcement troopers will begin another phase of Ticketing Aggressive Cars and Trucks (TACT), a safety campaign aimed at educating motorists about the dangers of aggressive driving around large trucks and to reduce commercial motor vehicle related crashes.
“The Florida Highway Patrol is committed to keeping our roadways safe for all motorists,” said Colonel Gene Spaulding, Director of the Florida Highway Patrol. “In order to keep you and your family safe when driving, motorists should exercise extra caution when sharing the road with larger vehicles.”
The TACT campaign runs from March 11 through March 24, 2016. Troopers will be looking for car and truck drivers who display aggressive driving behavior such as following too closely, speeding and unsafe lane changes.
Protect yourself, your passengers and others on the roadway and think twice before driving aggressively.
