Client Success Stories
In early January, Jeannie began working with Workforce Development and secured a job with the University of Arizona’s catering service just three weeks later. With years of experience in hospitality, she had struggled to find steady, year-round employment. Jeannie worked with ICS staff to update her resume, showcasing her skills and experience in the industry. She credited staff and volunteers for giving her the confidence to apply for jobs, prepare for interviews, and navigate technology despite not having access to a computer.
Through their guidance, Jeannie felt ready for her interview and was thrilled to secure a position that offered steady work and great benefits. She was so grateful for the support she received that she even referred a friend to WFD, eager to help others benefit from the same resources.
Gustavo was referred to Workforce Development by the Emergency Financial Assistance Department. With a background in commercial painting, he had been off work for several years due to a back injury. He worked with a WFD volunteer to update his resume, highlighting his skills and experience. Gustavo secured a position with a small painting company and was excited to be back to work. He expressed his gratitude, saying, “I appreciate what you did for me.”
After years of caring for his elderly mother, Gerald sought help from Workforce Development. With no recent work history and limited transportation, he struggled to find a job. However, with a background in security, he secured a position as a security guard at an abandoned hotel in downtown Tucson, where he is responsible for preventing trespassing, ensuring safety, and protecting the property from vandalism. Gerald expressed his gratitude, saying, “I appreciate the help Workforce Development gave me very much! I’m happy to have a job—it’s something I know how to do, and it’s a fairly easy job. You guys are wonderful!
