The Fantastic’s Red Hat Society of Greenville toured the Muhlenberg Career Development Center’s campus on Thursday, April 5th.  The Red Hat Society meets the first Thursday of each month.  They look for educational trips they can take to learn more about Muhlenberg County and what it offers its residents.  The group was treated to a catered lunch by Jean-Jeans Catering in the administrative conference room.  After lunch, Gary Jones, Business and Community Liaison, and Ann Cisney, Work Based Learning Coordinator, gave a presentation about the Job Corps program including outreach/admissions through career transition.  At the conclusion of the presentation the ladies were given a tour of the campus and its facilities.  They spoke with numerous staff members and students about the program.  Only two of the members had ever been on the Muhlenberg campus before.  They were impressed with the many physical changes to the buildings and the culture of the center’s students.  Many comments were made about how the program included so many areas needed in order to be successful in life and the work world.
