Request from William Patterson University of NJ IBM Mainframe Computing Courses
William Patterson University of NJ (WPUNJ) located in Wayne NJ is applying for a New Jersey Labor and Workforce Development Opportunity Partnership Grant for mainframe computing certification course(s) to be taught at the University. The grant application requires letters of commitment from corporate partners who will work with WPUNJ to identify their hiring needs and the training that will prepare job candidates for these positions. Corporate partners also agree to interview WPUNJ students for consideration for their open positions. If you and/or your HR Department are interested, we will need the attached letter of support completed to submit with our application, which is due on October 17, 2016. Basically, corporate partners are asked to provide a sample job description for your open position(s), meet with the student(s), if possible; consider opportunities for internships; and interview students for consideration to hire (not a commitment to hire). Your Letter of support should be emailed to Bernadette Tiernan and Johanna Prado at [email protected] and [email protected], respectively. Thank you for your support and help! Bernadette 8
