The "Cape Employment Opportunities (CEO)" will be implemented in 1998.
The program, designed to help match spouses of relocating professionals to the area with jobs, is sponsored by the Cape Girardeau Chamber of Commerce.
John Mehner, president of the local chamber, said that while the Chamber will be working with employment agencies, the CEO program is not necessarily a job service for unemployed people in the area, or those looking to switch jobs. The program was specifically designed to help find a position for the spouses of people who are relocating to the area for a job.
