USFS summer jobs open
The U.S. Forest Service is using a new centralized hiring process for temporary or seasonal jobs in national forests throughout Oregon and Washington.
Phase 1 hiring includes all temporary fire-related jobs and any other temporary positions requiring hiring prior to May 3, 2015. The application period is Jan. 6 – 12, 2015. Phase 2 involves all non-fire related temporary positions. Applications must be submitted Feb. 4 – 10, 2015. Phase 3 is the “catch all” period, for positions that were not filled during phase 1 or phase 2.
A list of all the temporary fire-related jobs that need to be filled this summer on the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest will be posted on the Forest Service Albuquerque Service Center web site at https://fsoutreach.gdcii.com/Outreach.
Additional information is available by contacting Forest Training Officer Jason Heinz at (509) 664-9235; or by emailing pnwregionhiringmanagerquestions@ms.fs.fed.us.
Business workshops offered
Three series of workshops on starting and operating your own business will be offered beginning in January by the North Central Washington SCORE (Service Corps of Retired Executives, a program of the federal Small Business Administration). SCORE mentors and other experts will lead the sessions.
Each series includes six separate workshops on topics such as putting together a business plan, legal and tax issues, planning, financing, marketing, cash management and record keeping.
All workshops will be held from noon – 2 p.m. in the SCORE Office at 2 South Chelan St. in Wenatchee. The registration fee is $100 per series or $250 for all three. You may register for any one session of each series for $25. Register by calling the SCORE office at (509) 888-2900.
