Nevada JobConnect this week will make a focused push to get unemployed people in Carson City, Douglas County and Lyon County back to work.
Ten representatives of the state agency will be knocking on doors of employers in the region this week to encourage them to use Nevada JobConnect services for hiring.
They hope to reach more than 1,200 business by personal visits, e-mail and traditional mail, said Frank Woodbeck, director of the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation.
The campaign dubbed "Jobquest" starts today and will run through Friday.
Some of the services Nevada JobConnect offers employers include screening potential employees, on-site interviewing and assistance with placement and training.
Additionally, through the Governor's Silver State Works program, employers can receive financial incentives for hiring unemployed workers.
