Since the Great Depression and through the Great Recession, one California nonprofit has been working non-stop to help Americans thrive in the workplace.
Jewish Vocational Service Los Angeles provides Southern Californians with a full host of employment services, from education and training to counseling and psychological assistance. A non-sectarian organization, JVS focuses on at-risk youth, the physically disabled, veterans and anyone else struggling to establish independence and self-sufficiency.
“The people that come to us with deep wounds typically need intensive work to increase their level of self-esteem, motivation and to deal with psychological issues, whatever they might be,” Claudia Finkel, the COO of JVS, told The Huffington Post. JVS mentors are trained volunteers who integrate intensive case management with focused training programs to not only assist with job acquisition, but also with job performance and retention.
