Meet Brian Rodriguez - Gardena

Workforce Challenge:

Brian Rodriguez, a recent high school graduate, aspired to start college after graduating. Instead, he decided to focus on attaining employment for several jobs. Brian had no work experience prior to enrolling to the Youth Program and encountered obstacles attaining employment.

Workforce Solution:

Brian enrolled to the Youth Program where he was assigned a case manager. His case manager informed him about the Resume and Interview workshops to better prepare him in creating a resume and obtain tips in interviewing for a job. Brian was able to fill out a few applications with the assistance of his case manager.

Outcome and Benefits:

Brian attended both the Resume and Interview workshops and was prepared to proceed with his job search. He attended Recruitment at the Gardena One Stop where several companies were present and was hired onsite by the company Syncreon. Brian was hired full-time on February 8th, 2017, in the capacity of Material Handler at the wage rate of $11.00 per hour.
