NEW HAVEN - In a joint effort between the city and home-furnishings retailer Ikea, Gateway Community College is offering job training workshops for New Haven residents at 11 different locations across the city through March 20. IKEA contributed $100,000 to Gateway so that all workshops are free to attendees.
IKEA spokesman Joseph Roth said Ikea will hire between 300 and 400 new employees for the New Haven store, which is scheduled to open this summer. The training consists of four two-hour workshops focusing on retail sector skills, including customer service, business communications, computer skills and computer basics for online job applications. Also in cooperation with Gateway, Ikea will operate its recruitment office and hold a job fair later this month on Gateway's Long Wharf campus.
The New Haven Ikea will be the company's first store in New England, and the fourth in the tri-state area.
