Westchester Insider: Westchester County Legislator Kitley Covill 2nd District: December Opportunities for Business and Fun.

 

Dear Friends and Neighbors, The County is committed to growing the local advanced manufacturing industry and to ensuring that companies have access to qualified local talent. The Westchester County Office of Economic Development and Westchester Community College will launch a pre-apprenticeship program for advanced manufacturing beginning in January 2022. This program will help to equip the next generation of employees with valuable skills and ensure our businesses have access to the talent they need locally. Those who are interested can visit: WestchesterCatalyst.com/SignMeUp to be notified when the enrollment period opens. Remember to celebrate the holidays with Westchester’s Winter Wonderland light show.  Beginning Friday, November 26th,  guests can be dazzled and delighted along the 1.2 miles of holiday lights with a whimsical display of jubilant children from around the world, a breathtaking Peace on Earth LED display with animated trumpets and angels, and two new thirty-foot snowflakes to light up the largest holiday Christmas tree in Westchester. This event will display the Kensico Dam Plaza and run through January 2nd.
