"There are venues available to support individuals and businesses here in Franklin County, MA to learn more of programs and resources to learn more the issues on how to become an employer. Often times checking in at "bricks and mortar" places such as local banking offices in Franklin County or the Shelburne Falls Area Business Association and the Franklin County Chamber of Commerce. This costs no more than an investment in time and asking live people. For instance there is an event that start this week at downtown Greenfield campus of Greenfield Community College focusing on "nuts and bolts" on HR specific issues."
