Available positions included managed care reps, office admins, logistics personnel, maintenance workers, and marine warehouse mechanics.
Dwight Ham Highlight
Re-entry Job seeker Mr. Dwight Ham was honored at City of New Rochelle State of the State on March 19, 2019, for his commitment to seeking employment and training. Mr. Ham recently secured employment at Iona College in New Rochelle.
Rising Stars Dinner
FSRC staff held this event on February 25, 2019, to congratulate and provide continued support to job seekers who participated at the highest levels to attain meaningful and competitive employment leading to sustainable careers. Twelve employed job seekers were invited but, due to conflicting work schedules, only six participated.
The six employed job seekers received awards for securing and maintaining their jobs for over 90 days. We utilized this time to have our "rising stars" encourage and motivate twelve current job seekers.
The testimonies were awesome and very emotional at times, providing inspiration to event participants. There was also time to network and enjoy a dinner with good vibes and energy.
