Description: Once the domain of only the young, Facebook has created a worldwide network and allowed people and businesses to stay connected. More and more businesses are building relationships through Facebook and growing their audiences in creative ways. As the line between professional and personal becomes more blurred we discover that relationships really do matter. With so much to offer on the social scene, we'll attempt to answer the question: Is Facebook a legitimate tool for businesses?

Notice to Trainees
WHY WE NEED YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER
Act 192 of the 2008 Vermont Legislature requires employers and other training providers receiving support from the state to provide the social security number of each individual participating in the training to the department of state government supporting the training. The social security number will be used to gather wage information from the Department of Labor's files after you complete training, in order to evaluate the training program.
The Departments of Labor and Economic Development must provide information on the employment outcomes of training programs to the Legislature. Your information will be combined with information of other trainees to ensure your privacy and the privacy of your employer. The law requires the departments to keep your information confidential.
