“Launching this site has been a goal of the Association for quite some time, and we’re so excited to bring it to the industry to connect employers and candidates through various pipelines,” said RAMW President and CEO Shawn Townsend. It will also serve as a platform for those coming out of the excellent community-based training programs we have in our region, with employers who are ready to hire.
