Rockville, MD — SPARKS and Sparks IT Solutions are proud to celebrate National Staffing Employee Week (NSWE). This celebratory week established by the American Staffing Association (ASA) to honor the nearly 11.5 million Americans who are employed by staffing and recruiting firms each year.

• Flexibility. Employees can choose when, where, and how they want to work. Employers are provided with the skills when they need them
• Bridge to Full-Time Employment. Temporary and contract work provides a bridge to full-time employment. Job seekers can try out a prospective employer and showcase their skills for a permanent job.
• Choice. Many job seekers choose temporary and contract work as a preferred employment option. They can select their work schedules and choose among a variety of diverse and challenging assignments.
• Training: The staffing industry provides free training for millions of temporary and contract employees to help meet today’s demand for skilled workers.
