Mobile Works brought in presenter George Kelley, President and CEO of NexxStep Career Training Development System to speak to all staff employed at the Alabama Career Center. Mobile Works staff and board members first heard Kelley speak to a standing-room only audience at the Southeastern Employment and Training Association (SETA) conference earlier in the year. Kelley delivers a down-to-earth presentation designed to increase awareness of jobseeker customer needs so that staff can better meet those needs.

Kelley conducted three sessions, one with management and two with other staff. The highlight of the training was a game where people stood in a circle and held ropes held at the other end by people across from them and attempted to create a circle where everyone was holding the rope of the person beside them. All of the groups did well at the challenging game, which underscored the need for excellent communication and teamwork.
