I was unemployed and knew that the Career Center could help with leads on employment. I was helped with fuel costs to get back and forth to work. There we’re other services available if I needed them. I am working in my highest management position with my own store. Never give up or think there aren’t people or organizations to help because there’s always something or someone that can help.

I’ve been working with CareerSource Escarosa for about 5 months. They provided me with Cash Assistance to help me with transportation so I could look for a job. Samantha Glass has been an amazing help through this process. She guided me through every step along the way to my amazing new job as a bus monitor for STA!

Sherman Williams referred by the VA Vocational Rehab Program. Mr. Williams has been working with Tim for about 3 years. He has a number of health issues which have limited his ability to maintain employment due to physical limitations.

The help provided by Mr. Richardson has been awesome! He has worked hard goal assisting me to meet my goal of obtaining a position in Federal Employment.”

Staffing Connection and KTN USA partnered and hired 55 employees over several weeks with the help of Alan and his team’s partnership at CSE. Alan set up interview rooms for us once a week over about 12 weeks. Most of the associates we gained during this time were pre-screened with exact interview times, however, Alan brought us several other candidates from the Career center floor, that were there for other reasons and we were able to hire a few of those as well. We are proudest of one particular individual who has now completed his temporary assignment with us and works full time, permanently with the KTN Plant, who was one of those non-interview candidates that Alan brought to us. He has become a true success story for us to compel other candidates from the career center to apply and interview.
