What We Do
El
Dorado County JOB ONE plays a significant role, in partnership with
the JOB ONE Onestop employment resource center by serving as El
Dorado County's OneStop Employment Source, and as the public
relations arm of the OneStop. Specifically, JOB ONE acts as a unique
portal for collaboration and two-way exchange of information between
the public sector and private businesses within the county. JOB ONE,
as a 501(c)(3) organization, mobilizes resources and funds through
the creation and support of direct service programs throughout El
Dorado County.
How does JOB ONE help the local Community?
JOB ONE collaborates with local Government Agencies and groups to
provide key programs, here are just a few:
PRO-Teens: Recently, PRO-Teens brought their program to
the JOB ONE site. At-Risk Youth referred from several agencies are
put through a six-week job readiness curriculum through ROP.
PRO-Teens is an Employer based program that affords selected high
school students the opportunity to learn about how to get and keep a
job directly from employers themselves. Through JOB ONE's
relationship with Golden Sierra, and their youth services component,
teens who could benefit from the Pro-Teens program were selected.
JOB ONE is the fiscal agent for ProTeens and three members of our
board are key participants in the phenomenal program - Output
Technology Solutions, Blue Ribbon Temporary Services, Marshall
Hospital, and the Mountain Democrat.
FAMILY LOAN PROGRAM: JOB ONE has assisted the Department
of Social Services in partnering with Community Services to
establish the Family Loan Program. This program makes available
funds for those on welfare or recently off welfare, to get low
interest loans. These loans will be primarily issued to repair or
purchase cars so individuals can get to their jobs. This program
will also help give them the opportunity to improve their credit
rating since it is a repayable loan.
SUIT UP FOR SUCCESS and FIRST IMPRESSIONS: JOB ONE teamed
with the Placerville Soroptimists to establish a professional
Clothes Closet, Suit Up for Success, where local women have an
opportunity to select business attire. JOB ONE is also the
coordinator of the weekly First Impressions brown bag lunch. Where
local women receive advice and tips to enhance their business image.
How does JOB ONE promote its mission in El Dorado County?
JOB ONE maintains a highly visible community presence through
public speaking engagements, various public relations programs and
outreach efforts.
Specific marketing of JOB ONE's value to the community is done
through: The Employer Solutions newsletter, JOB ONE web site,
public speaking engagements and business community participation,
trade shows, OneStop tours, chamber and service club membership, and
press coverage. All this has resulted in greater name recognition
and visibility for JOB ONE and the OneStop in this community.
