KANSASWORKS Connects Employers, Job Seekers

Employment ImageKANSASWORKS is seeing Kansas relocation and employment interest from many sectors, both from within the state and outside of Kansas. In order to assist in the important connections between Kansas employers and job seekers, employers and community organizations alike are encouraged to place the KANSASWORKS link — www.kansasworks.com — in a visible, prominent place on their website, in addition to a mention in e-newsletters, social media and other communication avenues. The KANSASWORKS job board receives about 400,000 hits per day and it is a no-cost site for employers to post Kansas job openings (full time, part time, paid internships), as well as to review thousands of job seekers resumes by easy keyword search.



Rural Voices Contest Still Going Strong after 10 Years

Rural Voices Youth Contest LogoThe NCRPC is once again offering the Rural Voices Youth Contest for high school seniors in North Central Kansas – marking ten years since the contest began.

The top entry in each category will receive a cash award of $850 and will be published the EyeonKansas.org site, an affiliate of the NCRPC. More than $15,000 has been awarded to high school seniors from around the region since 2006.
