Lead abatement training and informational seminars at no cost to them. Connecting with labor and hiring opportunities, and networking activities for business opportunities.
During the period of this program, the tasks I oversaw and assisted with were: Administrative – compiling our client database of the firm of eligible contractors and inviting them to the following seminars & training dates to learn more about the program. Keep track of attendance and registration of all events, seminars, training, and technical assistance in the database. Keep track of call logs and emails when working on the contractors program. Marketing – Design contractors’ websites and marketing products. Designed the marketing materials for the program and website.
Worked collaboratively with the program director, guest speakers, and training instructors for scheduled dates of their participation.
