Kathy Stevens, Executive Director, MCAEL &
​Carla Young, Director of Membership and Community Relations, The Greater Bethesda Chamber of Commerce
If so, you missed the opportunity to learn about state and county resources when The Greater Bethesda Chamber of Commerce hosted its quarterly Cultural Roundtable Group with special guest Joana Winningham of the MD Division of Workforce Development & Adult Learning. 
​

Joanna heads up the Skilled Immigrant Task Force, a 100+ member strong group around the state including fellow Chamber members like MCAEL and WorkSource Montgomery. The Maryland Skilled Immigrants Task Force (SITF) is a consortium of stakeholders that seek to leverage skills that foreign-trained professionals bring to the United States to meet local job market demand.
 
In Montgomery County, the foreign-born population is 32% of our county population and we have thousands of neighbors who are ready, willing, skilled, and able to meet the needs of local employers---if only they can get connected with you.
 
While we know that our unemployment rate is low, we also hear from Chamber member businesses that they have challenges finding workers to fill their needs.
 
To access these resources, go to https://www.dllr.state.md.us/employment/skilledimmigrant.shtml
 
And feel free to reach out to Joana directly to learn more about SITF at  [email protected] 410-767-2822

Stay tuned to the Chamber for more Cultural Roundtable Group topics surrounding issues that impact our business community.
