The Leave Your Suit at the Door event showcases the Hero School Employment Empowerment solution to Nevada’s 13.4% unemployment.

LAS VEGAS -- On November 4th, 2011 from 6 - 9 PM at the new modern facility of Craig P. Kenny and Associates , 501 S. 8th Street, Downtown Las Vegas, Hero School will host its first Employment Suit Drive & Kickoff Event. Admission is free.

BACKGROUND: Three years since the economic downturn, Nevada’s unemployment remains the highest in the nation in spite of the best efforts of myriad organizations and heroic individuals. After empowering tens of thousands of homeless adults to become engaged and contributing employees and community members, Hero School ’s cadre of local business and community leader-volunteers along with founder, Tiger Todd, have developed a new employment process proven to quickly empower more than 50% of unemployed Nevadan attendees from myriad social strata to find meaningful employment in a matter of weeks. HS Character Change® Initiatives have benefited organizations including CSN, The Shade Tree, SNRHA, and CCSD.
