She reflects on the growth of her leadership, time management, and communication skills during her time in the program. She is currently enrolled at El Camino College and plans to transfer to UCLA after two years.

“I am grateful for the opportunities granted by these programs and the exposure to the retail and customer services industry.”

“I am truly thankful for the One Stop and all the help they have given me. I hope to find future employment through the One-Stop, once I finish college in the youth department because I want to help youth in need.”

“The Inglewood One-Stop not only helped me advance my skill sets for work, but also as an individual. With the constant support of the One-Stop, it has made not only my work experience enjoyable and helped me to advance my strengths, but also my college experience a lot easier.”

“The One-Stop gave me better decision-making skills, confidence and determination. It has also been the best support system and it’s been free.”

“I thank the Workforce for everything they've done to help me and hope they continue their outreach capabilities with more financial resources due to my personal experience.”

“I had the amazing opportunity to explore a field I had never thought about, gained real work experience that will help me for the long term, gained exposure to working with professionals and gained wonderful mentors. Lastly, I gained the opportunity to show the company I interned for what I could offer, which resulted in being hired full-time.”

“The Torrance One-Stop provided me with work readiness training where they helped me with my resume and taught me to apply for jobs on my own. My recommendation to other youth is to never give up even if you are faced with challenges.”
