Hey everyone, it’s Jeanine! It’s been an exciting past couple of months, and I wanted to share a few highlights. Between redecorating the office with new photos in our hallways and classroom and helping with events, there’s been plenty going on. First up was our Fall Job Fair. I spent time traveling around the county putting up signs and banners, some easier than others. I also had the opportunity to record a radio segment at WOCC 102.7 with Sunny, which was such a fun experience. Later, I took a trip to Louisville to visit our Job Fair Platinum Sponsor, UA Local 502, where I learned more about what they do and captured photos and videos to share. After that, I was back on the radio for an interview promoting our Christmas Pet Ornament fundraiser. One of the best parts has been helping so many people come in to create ornaments for their pets, which was also a great way to introduce them to our MakerSpace and all it has to offer. It’s been so much fun getting into the holiday spirit, and knowing that all proceeds support Harrison County Animal Control. I’ve also been working on a new sign for the MakerSpace and, through all the posts and promotions I’ve done for the fundraiser, Job Fair, and our classes, I’ve learned a lot and grown my marketing skills along the way. It’s been a fun-filled couple of months, and I’ve loved every chance to connect with our community!
Coming up next week! Take your Excel skills to the next level. Build confidence as you learn advanced tools and time-saving techniques to boost productivity at work, school, or in everyday projects. Tickets are on sale now! ![]()
