I accepted an offer from WA State Department of Social and Health Services, Community Services Division (CSD) to become a new Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) program manager for a one year project. I begin on August 16th , with the job running through 6/30/19. The project will bring together partners from the community and from the S. Central Workforce Development Council (greater Yakima area) to get more job seekers into sustainable employment situations with community partners supplying supportive services through CSD. I am still learning the scope of the project and the expected deliverables, but am VERY excited to take on this unique challenge and work in a new capacity that will help DSHS continue to strive toward the goal of reducing poverty by 50% through 2025.
Listed skills include Public Speaking, Program Management, Government, Community Outreach, and 6 others.
