Korean Planning Team Visits One-Stop

December 13, 2011... The Ministry of Employment and Labor of Korea sent a planning team to the United States to learn more about how American workers are trained, and our government’s philosophy towards maintaining a skilled and literate workforce.

The Korean Embassy chose the Bergen One-Stop Career Center as the first site visit, due to its proximity to the New York City and success as a comprehensive center. The team of officials spent the morning at our facility on Monday, November 7, 2012.  Joining staff at the One-Stop in welcoming the officials were Robert Garrison, Esq., Director of Planning & Economic Development and Maggie Peters,  Director of Economic Development, both from the County of Bergen, and Andrea Sheridan, Assistant Superintendent and Jason Kim, Board Member. Among those present from the Korean Ministry of Labor & Employment were the Director and Assistant Director, as well as and several assistant directors from the Ministry’s Job Center.

After touring the One-Stop and speaking with managers and clients from the collaborative partner agencies, officials met for an in-depth question and answer session on clients services, workshops and classroom curriculum.
