"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 has 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."
