Adapting to Economic Uncertainty: Embracing Talent Development and Collaborative Partnerships

The Nexus-PATH Family Healing clinic, located at 600 S. Second St., Suite 220 in Bismarck, has opened its doors to the public. The clinic is staffed by therapist Tara Helfrich, who specializes in trauma-focused therapy and holds a Master of Social Work degree from Western New Mexico University. Helfrich also has undergraduate degrees in social work from North Dakota State University and Minot State University.

Vector Construction has been recognized with a Gold Star in the Innovation Category of the Excellence in Concrete Award program by the North Dakota Ready Mix & Concrete Products Association for their work on the Bismarck Parkade Ramp. The company collaborated with Walker Consultants to develop a solution that was completed in August 2023. The project involved repairing concrete radius beams on three levels of the spiral exit ramp and was the only Bismarck location to win one of the 14 category awards from the association.

In today’s economic landscape, companies are placing a high emphasis on developing a skilled workforce to increase productivity and streamline processes, despite high costs and inflation. Employers are seeking individuals who can meet specific requirements and contribute effectively to operations. To remain competitive, businesses have turned to upskilling and continuous training as essential tools for driving forward in an economy still recovering from the impacts of the pandemic. Those employees who can adapt to evolving demands will have an edge over others in this competitive job market. As such, employers are now focusing on fostering mutually beneficial relationships where both parties benefit from a well-honed skill set, leading to a more resilient and productive economic environment overall.

The Nexus-PATH Family Healing clinic is committed to providing top-notch mental health services using evidence-based approaches that prioritize patient wellbeing and recovery. With therapist Tara Helfrich on staff, patients can expect compassionate care tailored specifically to their unique needs.
