The Excellence in Partnering award is given to businesses that work closely with the local JobLink office and effectively use its partner network to meet workforce needs and goals. Last year’s recipient was Meridian Kiosks LLC of Aberdeen.
Situs Outsourcing Solutions is a division of The Situs Companies, a global real estate and financial services company headquartered in Houston. The Robbins location is an innovative operations center started in January 2007 that competes directly with offshore providers of support services to the commercial real estate finance industry. The center has enabled Situs to increase customer satisfaction by providing higher-quality services at lower costs to its clients.
The company also strives to create quality job opportunities for local workers and to maintain a dedicated and enthusiastic workforce. “Situs’ exceptional commitment to their employees, community and clients, as well as their willingness to go above and beyond, make it easy to see why they are worthy of this award,” said Crystal Taylor, Business Services Specialist at JobLink. “Moore County JobLink appreciates being able to work with a company of Situs’ caliber and assist them with their workforce needs.”
Since 2007, the company has successfully joined efforts with the Aberdeen JobLink office and numerous partnering agencies to fill job vacancies, apply for funding assistance, train employees, and participate in unique opportunities including a regional pre-apprenticeship project and administering special testing. Situs collaborated with Sandhills Community College to apply for funding to assist with creating a customized employee training program. Over $200,000 was subsequently awarded through the North Carolina New and Expanding Industry Training (NEIT) program managed locally by the College.
Through the Pee Dee Region Workforce Development Board and the JobLink office, Situs was also awarded $80,000 for on-the-job training initiatives under the federal Workforce Investment Act (WIA). The Pee Dee Board and JobLink oversee the WIA workforce development program at the local level.
