Hello Job-Seekers (and those who have found jobs) and Friends,
The Job Fair on Thursday September 22nd, had a great turn out of Job-Seekers, but not many job opportunities. I want to continue to offer my support, with the effort of working together to find work.
We have 2 free Job-Seekers meetings each week. One in Grass Valley every Friday and one in Nevada City every Monday. (more info below) (more…)
Sierra Commons has added some new benefits for our members. Besides providing stellar office space, downtown parking, super fast Internet, and a slew of other amenities, we have recently added several new amenities to our facility.
Sometimes it’s the small things that count. For example, having a secured space for your valuables. Sierra Commons now has gym-type lockers available to members and a new locking file cabinet. This adds a layer of security and convenience in addition to our alarmed building and the watchful eyes of our community members and the guard poodle . (more…)

Dear Supporters and Seekers of High-speed Internet Access,
This is a reminder that we need your help in making the Gold Country Broadband Consortium a success, and you can help by submitting your letter of support and Member Information Sheet. Please download draft template Ltr of Support and Member Information Sheet
SEDCorp is dedicated to extending broadband Internet service to every home and business in the counties of Sierra, Nevada, Placer, El Dorado and Alpine as soon as possible and maximizing the breadth of beneficial services available via those connections.
