​SOUTH BAY WORKFORCE INVESTMENT BOARD​

“I would tell others that asking for help is one of the most important things we can do for our well-being. If you don’t share your struggles with someone else, then you suffer in silence.”

“SBWIB YouthBuild is a program of opportunity, and all you need to do is take it. Don’t be afraid to achieve your goals. Do it for yourself. Prove to yourself that you can grow. You may make mistakes, not everyone is perfect. If you were depressed at one point, just like me, who couldn’t attend school, just try one more time. You won’t regret it. This is me giving you that push. Take it and become better.”

“I am now doing something that I enjoy, and I think having that prestigious internship on my resume really helped seal the deal of my new occupation.”

"Just give it a shot and reach out to the One-Stop to see how they can best help you! They have connections to local businesses and can provide opportunities that you wouldn't be able to find on your own. It's also free, so there's nothing stopping you!"

“The Carson one stop career center helped me gain worked experience and taught me to be on time. The staff welcomed me and explained everything I needed to know to get started which made me feel part of the community.”

“I am grateful for the opportunities granted by the South Bay One Stops and the exposure I received that allowed me to embark along a pathway to achieving my future employment and career goals.”

“Definitely come to YouthBuild and be open to what they offer. The program will only work if they are willing to accept and take advantage of the services the program offers to be successful.”

"I would like to tell others who struggle to find employment to never give up and always try to find as many resources as possible, because you never know who can end up helping you out when needed. Also, don’t get discouraged if things don’t work out right away, simply try again or move on to something better.”
