Program Details



Richard S. arrived at the Central State facilities after receiving a recommendation from a friend who praised the dedicated group of people serving the public. On March 12th, he attended an orientation session for individuals seeking job opportunities. He found the explanations provided to be very helpful and understood that the job search was a collective effort. The following day, he eagerly wrote his resume, motivated by his desire to learn about computers and internet navigation. Mrs. Maribel encouraged him to apply on several occasions. He also received numerous calls and messages from her with information about job application opportunities and hiring fairs. One of these led to his successful hiring, marking his first job opportunity in this country.

Richard is pleased with the treatment he received, noting that the work group was attentive, and he consistently received support and information from everyone involved in the program. He feels happy and satisfied with the collaboration provided throughout the process, and he wholeheartedly recommends their services, confident that they can help others achieve their short-term goals.
