Management at Workforce Solutions Alamo is looking for a few good women.

The regional branch of the statewide service agency plans to host a series of seminars aimed at women who have already started their own businesses or are looking to began one. Sparked by a grant from the Texas Workforce Commission, the seminars will be grouped together as a “Women’s Entrepreneurship Bootcamp” and comprise a virtual participation aspect for people in different areas to attend, said Tiffany Harris, Workforce Solutions Alamo business engagement manager.
