“If you are wanting to learn new skills or upgrade your clerical knowledge, this is the place to come. Starting a second career because of injury, job cutbacks or layoffs? Stop by Tri-County Literacy Council. I was injured at my work in Health Care, after 25 years. I was not ready to retire at age 60. I decided to retrain for a second career in clerical. I can still work with the knowledge that I previously attained and incorporate it into this new career.”
