The Queens Workforce1 team had a fantastic time at York College of the City University of New York participating in their job fair. The fair focused on enhancing career opportunities for students and alumni at all stages. The Workforce1 team provided valuable resources that attendees can access at their program such as resume workshops, IT Certifications, and Individual Training Grants. Attendees also received references to open positions in the social services field. Big thanks to York College for hosting an impactful event and for collaborating with the Workforce1 team. #CareerDevelopment #WorkforceDevelopment #YorkCollege #Community #Engagement #Impact

Our recent job and resource fair at the Urban Upboundoffice in Long Island City was a success. Queens Workforce1 team members, engaged with over 20 candidates from our partners at Urban Upbound, which supports NYC residents in public housing and low-income neighborhoods. Many Spanish-speaking New Yorkers were referred to positions that needed bilingual candidates, which addressed critical community needs. Thanks to Queens WF1 and Urban Upbound for fostering impactful connections! #Community #Support #JobFair #WorkforceDevelopment #Impact

Today, we wanted to highlight a compelling success story from our PA EARN program: "Shakema is thrilled with the progress she has made and goals she has exceeded. She is grateful that she had the opportunity to show her children what it takes to overcome hardship, but even more happy that she could provide them with a safe place to be while she is at work. Shakema looks forward to her continued growth and bright future." Shakema was able to attain stable, full-time employment and daycare for her children. At Grant, we're grateful for the opportunity to positively impact our customers' lives, helping them build a better future for themselves and their families while also helping businesses in the community find talented employees that will enable them to grow. ⭐ #community #impact #success #WorkforceDevelopment
