Drive4Five Worker Recruitment Program

The Columbus Area Chamber of Commerce spearheads a worker recruitment program to bring people to the Columbus area. As industrial skill sets are needed by industry, the Drive4Five program actively recruits at technical colleges and other communities in Nebraska and neighboring states.

For more information on the Drive4Five program, please contact the Drive4Five Coordinator at 402-564-2769.
