Middlebury Five-O: Mathew Barewicz and Carolyn Weir

[ezcol_1third]

[/ezcol_1third] [ezcol_2third_end] Mathew Barewicz, an economist with the Vermont Department of Labor, and Carolyn Weir from the J. Warren and Lois McClure Foundation, talk about their collaboration, publishing an informational pamphlet highlighting jobs that pay rather handsomely and are projected to have at least 100 openings in Vermont over the next 10 years. Their message is one of economic hope for the State, with both promoting the notion that great career opportunities do exist here, along with the educational resources needed to grasp those opportunities. The Pathways to Promising Careers brochure can be found by clicking here – along with a host of other valuable life-planning resources.
