Retail and Hospitality Training Opportunity For Jobs at Barclays Center
BUILD Press Release via Fort Greene-Clinton Hill Patch
Here's the full notice about Barclays Center job opportunities being managed by Brooklyn United for Innovative Local Development that raised eyebrows last week.
We all know that we are facing one of the toughest economic periods in our history. Job growth has declined dramatically while unemployment levels seem to be ever increasing. Although there does not seem to be a recovery in sight, we at BUILD know that there is light at the end of tunnel for a select few.
With Barclays Center set to open next year, there will be a number of employment opportunities in the retail and hospitality industries, both in, and around, the arena. Currently, we are working with a number of retailers around the arena and are looking forward to providing access to potential employment opportunities in these sectors for high-energy individuals with positive attitudes.
You can gain a competitive advantage by participating in our Retail and Hospitality Training Program that begins Sept. 6. This will be a competitive process with space limited to 25 individuals in each session. We are looking to place individuals that are serious and have a desire to work in and around a World Class Arena. If you are interested you must R.S.V.P. for one of the following information sessions: Monday, Aug. 22, Tuesday Aug. 23 or Wednesday, Aug. 24. Information sessions will take place at noon and 3 p.m.
To reserve your place or for more information please contact us at (718) 230-7095.
