The program is provided at no charge to participants and graduated its very first mate in June. After Friday’s graduation, two more associates are scheduled, Grimaldi stated. The program was started by former JARI Workforce Development Director Debra Balog and
PA CareerLink Cambria County website administrator Jeff Dick.“This was one of the very best ideas we’ve had for finding quality employees for companies in the location,“Balog said.“We created the idea of working with our public real estate units due to the fact that numerous people had transport and kid care barriers that kept them from accessing resources outside of Johnstown’s public real estate.“ U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Pittsburgh Field Office Director Michael Horvath said the program has helped people“
lift themselves up and get them connected. „He praised the graduates and the partners who made the program possible. The program has actually earned HUD recognition as a finest practice, a recognition offered to one authority annually for specifically bettering the lives of its locals, Alberts stated.
