Every community has a brand reputation or identity… what people say about them when they’re not around. More than a year ago, nine community organizations decided to work together to propel the image of our community forward. We formed the Brand Quincy/Adams County Partnership with the purpose of developing a cohesive, distinct and memorable brand.

Please join:

City of Quincy, Adams County, Arts Quincy, The District, Great River Economic Development Foundation, Quincy Area Chamber of Commerce, Quincy Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, Quincy Park District and the Oakley-Lindsay Center

on Wednesday, January 13, 2016, at 5:00 pm at the Oakley-Lindsay Center in Quincy as we unveil the new community brand.

[share]Developed by the Adams County Works Work Readiness Team, the Work Ready Toolbox helps job seekers build the skills they need to succeed in today’s workplace. The Toolbox, which is located on the United Way of Adams County website, includes videos, tips and mini-lessons designed for individuals who need assistance with essential workplace skills. 

The Adams County Works Work Readiness Team remains focused on their mission: Developing work ready citizens to become successful, productive members of the regional workforce. 

In addition to the new Toolbox, the Team is in the process of re-validating the Essential Workplace Skills (ESW) in an effort to ensure the skills remain relevant to the current expectations of regional employers.
