STEELERS!

Standard Envelope is a relatively new company in the

Westmoreland County area. Opening its doors in 2014, Standard

Envelope has become one of the leading companies for envelopes

and related products throughout the area. Their goal is to provide

the highest quality product available, meeting every customer's

needs big or small.

Recently Standard Envelope has been working the us at

the Westmoreland CareerLink. By utilizing our programs such as

the OJT we are able to create the right plan and recruit the right

people for the job. Standard Envelope is willing to hire and train

someone with very little experience to someone that has been

working in the field for years.

By partnering with the CareerLink, Standard Envelope can

reach the community and hire a diverse population expanding

their workforce. If anyone is interested in an exciting work

PA CareerLink Open for Service

PA CareerLink offices in Westmoreland and Fayette Counties are currently open for business

by appointments only. Due to Covid 19 restrictions we must limit the number of individuals

inside our offices. It is very easy to schedule an appointment to Job Search and work on your

resume, use the computers in the CRC or meet with a staff member for career guidance. You

can call the offices Monday through Friday from 8 AM – 4 PM to schedule your appointment.

For those customers that arrive at the CareerLink without a pre-schedule appointment a staff

member is available at our Triage center to assist you with basic questions and direction.

You may even be able to schedule an appointment on the spot if we are not at our maximum

number in the facility at that time.

Right now, the PACL in Youngwood is holding Adult Education classes on site as is AlleKiski

CareerLink. All other classes are currently being held virtually. As of September the

CareerLinks in Westmoreland and Fayette Counties are also holding virtual workshops.

Registration for these Zoom Workshops can be accessed on the PA CareerLink Calendar of

Events. Workshop topics include: Online Applications, PA CareerLink Online Job Searching,

Resume, and Financial Literacy

Employers, we have not forgotten about you either. The Business Service Team Members

are here to assist you in posting jobs, searching for candidates to match your openings and

even work with you to develop an “On the Job” training contract if you find a good candidate

that may be lacking some of the skills needed to perform all of the job duties required in the

position. You may have current employees that need their skills upgraded so you want to

learn more about our” Incumbent Worker Training Program”. We also have a “Transitional

Employment Program” to assist individuals with barriers. If you are interested in helping an

individual gain some experience to assist them in reaching their career goals, please ask for

details. The best thing for you to do is to call the CareerLink and ask to speak to an Account

Representative. They will be able to assist you individually and explain all programs and

eligibility requirements.

Let us help you move forward to secure a successful end to 2020 and a productive 2021.

"Success isn't always about greatness. It's about consistency. Consistent hard

work leads to success. Greatness will come”. -Dwayne Johnson

Coping with Stress – Take Care of YOU The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is stressful for many people. Fear and

anxiety about a new disease and what could happen can be overwhelming and

cause strong emotions in adults and children. Unemployment and not knowing how

you will make ends meet is stressful. Public health actions, such as social distancing,

can make people feel isolated and lonely and can increase stress and anxiety.

Coping with stress in a healthy way will make you, the people you care about,

and your community stronger.

Here are a few healthy ways to cope with stress (taken from the CDC website).

Know what to do if you are sick and are concerned about COVID-

19.

Know where and how to get treatment and other support services

and resources, including counseling or therapy (in person or through

telehealth services).

Take care of your emotional health. Taking care of your emotional

health will help you think clearly and react to the urgent needs to

protect yourself and your family.

Take breaks from watching, reading, or listening to news stories,

including those on social media. Hearing about the pandemic

repeatedly can be upsetting.

Take care of your body.

o Take deep breaths, stretch.

o Try to eat healthy, well-balanced meals.

o Exercise regularly.

o Get plenty of sleep.

o Avoid excessive alcohol and drug use.

Make time to unwind. Try to do some other activities you enjoy.

Connect with others. Talk with people you trust about your concerns

and how you are feeling.

Connect with your community- or faith-based organizations. While

social distancing measures are in place, consider connecting online,

through social media, or by phone or mail.
