Chamber Offers Fingerprinting Service To Support Childcare Workers
By Staff Report-
Whether you are required to be fingerprinted by a government agency or for employment, you can now make an appointment at the Kosciusko Chamber with one of their trained staff members, according to a news release from the Chamber.
The Chamber made the decision to take the necessary steps and complete training to become a certified fingerprinting location to help support local childcare workers. The effort was spearheaded by LaunchPad, Kosciusko County’s early learning coalition, as state regulations require early learning providers to be fingerprinted annually.
Due to long wait times and difficulty finding available appointments locally, many providers were required to travel out of the county to complete their annual fingerprinting. This has hindered their ability to onboard the new staff members they need to operate. With the new location opening at the Chamber, it will provide childcare workers with a more convenient and efficient option, the release states.
Though supporting early learning providers was the driving force behind the Chamber’s decision, fingerprinting services can be completed for a wide variety of state agencies, programs and industries. Those include adoption, attorneys and legal workers, banking, childcare, construction industry licensing, education, firearm permits, financial services, health care, human services, insurance, management services, mortgage industry, pharmaceutical industry, real estate, social services, state employment, transportation and many more.
The Chamber’s hours of operation for fingerprinting services are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. by appointment only. The Kosciusko Chamber is at 523 S Buffalo St., Warsaw.
