Meet Melissa Moore

Workforce Challenge:

Manhattan Beach resident, Melissa Moore was laid off from her teaching job due to low enrollment numbers. Through the Employment Development Department, Melissa learned about the South Bay One-Stop Business & Career Center.

Meet Melissa Moore

Workforce Solution:

The One-Stop helped Melissa update her resume, retrain in massage therapy, and provided support as she progressed in her job search. She passed the Massage Board Licensing Examination (MBLEx), became a Certified Massage Therapist, and worked in the industry for three months before COVID struck and found herself unemployed again.

Outcome and Benefits:

Melissa reconnected with the One-Stop and obtained additional credentials needed to start a new career pathway in the healthcare and healing arts. She is now employed at Athreya Ayurvedic Integrative Health Center.

ā€œIā€™d have to tell others that there are people who care to see others succeed and are more than willing to assist you through a transitional time. I would also have to tell others about my career counselor, of course, because he was there for me every step along the way.ā€
