JOB OPENINGS 

• Encore Casino is hiring again! We just met with the Encore hiring team and will be setting up connections.  Over 100 job titles are now posted at Encore with many with more than one opening.   Everything from cooks, food servers, and guest room attendant to accounting clerk and entry level accounting specialist and warehouse to EPS AV technician, facilities, and supervisor and managers.  These are predominantly union positions and about half CORI friendly because of our campaign win in 2019.  We will stay working with you to help make the connection to Encore recruiters and talent acquisition staff.
• New Ecology Inc., a leading energy efficiency company that focuses on increasing efficiency of existing subsidized housing has recognized that they need to be intentional about BIPOC hiring creating internal upgrade paths.  We have already partnered to connect a BIPOC woman resident to a HERS Rater Trainee position.  Now New Ecology has more senior positions open:  Director of Engineering, Comptroller, Senior Energy Engineer, Senior Project Manager, Building Energy Modeler/Analyst.  If anyone is interested in learning more or if any Black professional group wants a direct introduction, get in touch!
