Train & Earn Participant Dress for Success

🌟 On March 29th, Friday, our Train and Earn Program (Previous OSY Program) participants were in for a special treat! Thanks to the generous support of Dress for Success through the Department of Youth & Community Development (DYCD), each participant received a sharp suit jacket🤵🏻🤵🏻‍♀️.

This stylish addition not only enhances their professional appearance but also boosts their confidence as they progress on their career journey, especially for new immigrants who encounter various challenges while striving for higher education. This gesture signifies support and encouragement every step of the way as they diligently work to improve their English proficiency and enhance their readiness for the workforce. We are immensely grateful for Dress for Success and DYCD's commitment to empowering our participants on their journey to success.

Bank of America ALN Career Development Workshop

On February 7th, CMP collaborated with volunteers from Bank of America to host a Career Development Workshop at our CMP office. We were thrilled to welcome a total of 70 participants, including 22 dedicated BoA volunteers, 42 T&E and English class students, and 6 staff members.

During the workshop, volunteers and students engaged in small group activities focusing on English conversation practice, mock interviews, and resume critiques. At the conclusion of the event, volunteers generously shared their workplace stories and provided valuable tips for language acquisition to help our participants better adapt to American culture.

A heartfelt thank you to our volunteers from Bank of America for their time, expertise, and commitment to making this workshop a success. Together, we had a day filled with learning, growth, and fun. We look forward to more opportunities to collaborate in the future!
