The Career
Resource Center serves the hardest to employ: ex offenders, welfare
recipients and non-custodial parents, assisting them to move into
unsubsidized jobs and economic self-sufficiency.
The Career
Resource Center is designed to impact three goals: help low and
moderate income individuals acquire job skills; secure stable
employment and gain financial stability. Accomplishing these
goals, individuals and families can avoid public assistance, enter
into a career or business, break the cycle of poverty and become
self-sufficient.
The Career
Resource Center was launched in August, 1995 to combat the high
unemployment rate in the Enterprise Zone community, which in
pockets, reached as high as 44%.
The key
components of the Career Resource Center are job counseling, job
training, job referrals/placement and customer follow-up.
Orientation:
A new jobseekers orientation is taught once a week and provides the
trainees an introduction to the CDC of Tampa, as well as discussions
of work ethics, and the steps needed to build the foundation for
success. The orientation is required by all new jobseekers.
Orientation is held every Wednesday at 8:30 a.m.
Steppin' Stones:
The Career Resource Center's Steppin' Stones job training component
is very exciting and designed based on the needs of our customer.
It is the foundation for all of our training endeavors. It
offers a beginning point for the potential employee to move toward a
career. The Steppin' Stones program is held on the third
full week of every month.
The Career Resource Center is open Monday thru Thursday
8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
