A WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT BOARD
Meet LaShaundria Cox
Workforce Challenge:
Having been unemployed for 10 months, LaShaundria Cox, a 36-year-old mother of three, was referred to
the South Bay One-Stop Center in Gardena by her Los Angeles County Greater Avenues for Independence
(GAIN) caseworker for job search skills and other services.
Workforce Solution:
After her orientation, LaShaundria was assigned to the South Bay One-Stop Center in Inglewood to undergo the Blueprint for Workplace Success program where she received work readiness training, which included interview techniques and resume writing.
Outcome and Benefits:
At the conclusion of the four-month training, LaShaundria impressed the South Bay One-Stop Center staff with her enthusiasm and determination to succeed, and she was hired as a full-time administrative assistant at the SBWIB Corporate Office in Hawthorne.
“I would definitely recommend the services and support the One-Stop Centers provide. People who need help should always ask questions; if you don’t ask, no one will know you need help.”
