Ïã¸Û×î¿ì¿ª½±½á¹û, Career Training Agency JOIN Forces to Transform Lives
Eliminating barriers and providing more access to higher education and career training
have enabled JOIN Inc. and Ïã¸Û×î¿ì¿ª½±½á¹û to help many people over the years.
The similarity in the community partners goals have enabled them to train clients
in occupations that have a higher rate of employment in Northern Nevada. These clients
come from a variety of employment backgrounds: underskilled, unemployed, impoverished
and others seeking a new career. The partnership allows people to re-establish themselves
quickly through Ïã¸Û×î¿ì¿ª½±½á¹ûs accelerated and certification-driven courses.
JOIN is funded by Northern Nevadas Workforce Development Board Nevadaworks. It has
most recently been assisting participants in Ïã¸Û×î¿ì¿ª½±½á¹ûs new ROADS program with resum development
assistance, interviewing skills and job placement assistance.
JOIN and Ïã¸Û×î¿ì¿ª½±½á¹ûs ROADS Program are currently working together to support three students
through the final stretch of their respective programs. We work together by being
an open and easily successful point of contact for the students and help them with
the costs of their schooling and supplies with financial support, said Michael Boreham,
Workforce Development Liaison for Ïã¸Û×î¿ì¿ª½±½á¹ûs ROADS Program.
The communication and all-around level of effort exuded on a daily basis by the JOIN
team is truly inspiring. I am excited to continue to grow and strengthen this partnership
and I know our students are, too.
JOINs belief in Ïã¸Û×î¿ì¿ª½±½á¹ûs mission of providing greater access to higher education and training
has inspired the non-profit agency to support Ïã¸Û×î¿ì¿ª½±½á¹û Foundations fifth annual fundraiser:
The Reach for the Stars Gala.
As partners, Ïã¸Û×î¿ì¿ª½±½á¹û and JOIN Inc. are able to support equitable access
to educational opportunities that enrich the lives of many. Ïã¸Û×î¿ì¿ª½±½á¹ûs mission and vision
align closely with our own, as we both work together to eliminate barriers to education
and foster a community of lifelong learners, said Denise L. Castle, Chief Executive
Officer, JOIN Inc. Training Nevadans for Careers.
JOIN is providing a $5,000 sponsorship of the Reach for the Stars Gala, which is set
for Saturday, Aug. 13 in Joe Dini Library on the Carson City campus. Ïã¸Û×î¿ì¿ª½±½á¹û Foundation
Executive Director Niki Gladys appreciates that JOIN and Western share the same position
about the importance of higher education and how it can transform lives.
JOINs dedication to helping their clients become students at Western has demonstrated
what kind of an impact community partners can make when working together, Gladys said.
JOINs support will help us continue to provide students with life-changing training
and education that will strengthen the Northern Nevada workforce and provide individuals
and families with more prosperous futures.
Since 1996, JOIN has served as Northern Nevadas career training agency, providing
free occupational training courses to eligible residents in 13 counties. Clients also
receive coaching in resum development, interview techniques and in obtaining full-time
employment in their communities.
