Employer Managed Job Orders and Screen Scraping with Iowa Workforce Development

SPENCER, IOWA - The Lakes Area Employers’ Council (ECI) will be meeting on Wednesday, February 13, 2008 at Godfather’s Pizza, 113 Grand Ave, Spencer, Iowa at 12:00 (noon). All employers, human resource personnel, and other staff members are invited to attend. The program features Chris Nilles, executive officer from Sioux City, Iowa.
