"The Elevate Douglas Economic Partnership team has been a huge asset to our business. We struggled finding qualified candidates for general warehouse, maintenance, and CDL drivers in the local market. In addition, COVID-19 and its aftermath presented hiring, absenteeism, and retention challenges. The job fairs and networking events that Elevate organized has provided us with great candidates and partnerships throughout Douglas County. The team is a tremendous resource and always available to assist in providing actionable guidance."
