We have just completed our Fall 2014 session of our Ready To Work program, with facilitators Nancy Dome, CEO of Epoch Education and Osias Encarnacion, IT Manager for Kaiser Business.  The six-week series included Orientation, Employment 101, Resume and Cover Letter Writing, Money Management, Interview Techniques and Dress for Success and Mock Interviews.

We also held our first "What Employers Want" session in collaboration with The Sonoma Valley Economic Vitality Partnership and local businesses.  It was a successful question and answer panel with over 20 teens in attendance and a 30-minute Mocktail and the end of the session, where the teens had one-on-one conversations with all the employers.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our partners, local businesses and community members who gave their valuable time and support to make this Fall sessions a huge success; North Bay Whole Foods, Whole Foods Sonoma, Sonoma/Glen Ellen Market, Umpqua Bank, WestAmerica Bank, Sonoma Fairmont Mission Inn, the girl and the fig, Bolt Staffing, Grandma Linda's Ice Cream, Dutch Bros. Coffee, SAY, Hanna Boys Center, Epoch Education, Laurie Decker and Rayne Dessayer.
