We are pleased to announce that the Joan & Alan Bernikow JCC of Staten Island has launched a new service for the community. JCC Career Connections will offer strategies to improve an individual’s potential in the workplace and help their career trajectory. JCC Career Connections will take a “people-first” approach to career development, providing both short-term and long-term results for individuals. Through workforce development, we also hope to have a positive impact on our local business community.
JCC Career Connections will offer comprehensive assessments that will help guide individuals to the appropriate trainings, workshops, job fairs, mentorships, and internships. By working in conjunction with the JCC’s social service departments and other community resources, we will also provide benefits screenings and enrollment, legal and financial counseling, access to a Kosher food pantry, supportive counseling, and access to health benefits.
