My name is Paula P Everest. I first want to thank everyone in the building who made my journey so wonderful. I got blessed with the most motivating career manager ever. Her name is Ashley! Ashley bless your soul! I was really about to give up because due to my age I feel like many times employers look over me but Ashley really talked some sense into me and helped me with my confidence. I have a background in healthcare and she suggested certified nursing assistant training. At first I wasn’t sure but after looking up some job posting I thought it didn’t sound too bad. I’ve been employed now for 3 months since I graduated as a certified nurse assistant and I absolutely love it. I work with people with disabilities and although it can be challenging at times it’s so rewarding. Ashley checks on me pretty often. I think that’s so nice she didn’t just forget about me. Overall wow I’m so thankful for this program.
Foundation for an Independent Tomorrow has been a blessing and is helping me realize my dream of becoming a license professional. For years I’ve worked 2 or 3 jobs at the time to be able make ends meet and provide for myself, wife and daughter. Thanks to FIT and and staff I am able to fulfill a lifelong dream of becoming a licensed professional barber and provide a better future for my family.

My experience at FIT has been a blessing. The staff there are amazing people from the front desk all the way to there case managers. They are 100% dedicated to helping you succeed.
Hi My name is Sophia Murphy and I'm here to tell you about Fit. Standard of Excellence helped me get my CNA license. The program was very educational and Joan was an outstanding instructor. She made sure we understood the assignments and went the extra mile to see everyone succeed. The whole team at fit work together and help get you the tools you need to move forward in life.
I went to school here for Phlebotomy and the teacher is amazing and has been a phlebotomist for years, the class was a little tough but easy to follow, and my favorite part was the externship.
I never knew such an outfit such as FIT existed. And all the wonderful people there and the things they do at FIT are just amazing. Everyone I met from my first day entering the door to this day has been nothing short of spectacular. They treat you with dignity and respect. They don't just offer help; they stay in touch with you make sure that you have achieved your entire goal. My Case Manager Ms. Tamara is truly a genuine lady who possess uncompromising integrity and authenticity. God bless her and all the great things she's done at FIT to help all those who enter FIT. Have a bless and a spectacular day all.
Best,

Foundation for Independent Tomorrow changed my life. I made some bad choices in my past And after learning many hard lessons and deciding to change. I wasn't sure which or what direction my life would go next. All I wanted was an opportunity for myself and a career that would provide a future. FIT got me where I needed to be. They paid for my CDL training and helped me get my class A license. My case manager Tamara Garcia was kind and helpful from the moment i walked into her office. She set me on the right path and supporting me every step of the way.
So here I am at work writing a review for the Foundation that gave me a future. I am forever grateful. Thank you FIT
This program changed my life, it gave me stability and gave me a career path that I wouldn’t be on without the help of Tamara Garcia and FIT . Now I’m in a much better situation and I’ve began my CDL career I will forever be grateful , every time a person talks about wanting change in their lives professionally I tell them all about FIT . Thank you guys

Love this place they were very helpful very oriented and got my career up and going.. a very special thanks to Tamara Garcia my caseworker very communicative oriented informative helpful and professional politeness five stars Plus to camera Garcia thank you tamara!!
My name is Juan Perez F.I.T is a great program that has helped me to achieve and reach new goals that I thought were out of reach.I was enrolling in getting my CDL. Since day one when I entered the program everything was very well explained to me with no hidden agendas. Once I received my case worker Tamara Garcia she helped me to find which program would best fit my life style. Tamara was in constant contact with me through out the whole process and encouraging me on my journey which really gave the feeling that her and this organization cared. Made me feel like I wasn’t just a case to them but more so we were a family. I recently graduated from CDL class and have my class A license now. After getting my license so many more doors have been opened in obtaining a great job. Thank you F.I.T for providing the help and opportunity. Thank you Tamara for all your help and guidance and making my experience a memorable one.
My life has changed where I don't recognize my old life.This is a good thing ,and I owe this new life to the help from Tamara and all people at FIT . I already have a job offer and it is the best offer I've ever had.Thank you Tamara from myself and all my family.
I have been representing Cashman Photo as a board member of FIT for nearly two decades. Over the years, I have witnessed the effect FIT can have on the unemployed and underemployed.
Some arrive at FIT’s doors truly lost. Job boards at their old workplace, classified ads, and employment agencies have all let them down. Job fairs were overwhelming and filled with applicants more qualified and better prepared. They often find themselves on some form of public assistance and it becomes difficult to confidently reassure their families that everything will be alright.
They arrive at FIT with their burdens, obstacles, and very little hope for a brighter future. They meet a caseworker that treats them like a real person and is interested in who they are, what they can do, and what they hope to be. A short time later, once their burdens have been lifted and obstacles brushed aside, their tiny bit of hope has become a reality. They have more than just another job that allows them to scrape by. They have a career with real earning potential and all the pride and confidence that comes with it. These people and their families are truly transformed.
Through our years supporting with FIT, I have seen this happen for hundreds of families and it has truly been a great privilege to witness each and every time. FIT helps people gain the skills needed to find and keep a great job, and they help employers get great results. They help people get off of public assistance and restore their ability to contribute to the economy. They restore pride and offer a secure future for families.
FIT works.
Attended all classes for the CDL program provided at the site. Went to take my test at the DMV and the trucks did not work. It’s been weeks and I still have not been able to move forward. Finally after weeks of waiting I was told I have to go to another school and start over. My family is being negatively impacted by how long the process has taken. This program is unorganized and unprofessional.
This is Walter Dickenson. I graduated October of 2022. Im employed now. The process wasn’t too bad. If you really want it you’ll stick to it. Nothing in life comes east. With the help of my case manager Jordan and the job developer everything went smoothly. I was employed quickly after training. I’m very happy and plan on referring all my friends and family here.
Im in job readiness with the instructor Mr.Gavin. He is great. I’m so exited to go through the process and try to do the CDL training. Shout out to Ms.Renee at the front desk she’s the sweetest and very welcoming. Keep that smile!
Yes yes and yes. Just do it! The people who work here are really your cheerleaders. If you’re having any doubts just do it!
Had such a nice time volunteering in 2022. I’m hoping to continue my volunteer services in 2023. Best staff I’ve ever come across in a non-profit. They really care and have a heart!
Loved my experience. Im graduating on the 3rd of February. Im going to be a Phlemotomist and Lab Assistant. Super easy process. Love my case manager!
Shame on me for not trying this program first. I went to another non-profit that claims very similar help with people that has backgrounds but let me tell you. I wasted so much time at the other place. As soon as I got done with the orientation here I knew I was gonna be treated right. All the staff have always been so damn nice. The front desk woman make you feel excited to be in the building. THIS IS THE PLACE! If you actually really really want to start a REAL career go here! Im 2 weeks out on starting my Forlift and Osha training, im so excited already got a job lined up too.
I just got released from jail a couple weeks ago. I actually heard about this place while I was locked up. They had people from FIT up at the jail and talking to us. That's really why I came here. It seems like they really care. Imma try to get my CDL so I can be a truck driver. I just finished the first 2 weeks of job readiness classes. We had w cute lil ceremony and got 2 certificates. I got really close to my classmates, we are all pushing each other to stick to the program and a success story. Hella excited to get my career started. I would recommend this place to anyone especially people who have criminal backgrounds. Yall are not alone.
Jennifer is my case manager and she is great. She has been very patient throughout my whole process. I couldn't decide what training to do and she helped narrow it down to Phlebotomy. I went to the school upstairs which was convenient as well. I'm almost done with my training I'm so excited to start working as a Phlebotomist.
I have to say that FIT helped me so much. I thought I had met the ends. No one seemed to want to hire a felon. I went to FIT and explained my hardship and my case manager was super motivating. She helped me decide to get into the CDL industry. It took time and dedication but im so thankful for her and FIT.
First and for most I want to thank the staff at FIT. I know everyone there has a important part and truly there to help you make a life changing career. Thank you Ms. Garcia for all your help and efforts to give me a life changing opportunity.it’s almost to true to be good but please believe I’m a living testimony, I chose welding for my career 2 weeks in and I already passed my 3G GMAW certification and well on my way to graduate and enter a extremely well paid profession.This program is designed to change people’s life’s nothing is handed out easily you get what you put into the program, trust the process for a better life for you and your family. Yours truly Abraham Lozano.
Almost Too good to be true , I’m still in disbelief. How such a wonderful and helpful organization exists! Life changing to say the least . I will forever be grateful for The F.I.T program. Thank you too everyone involved for Making dreams come true . There couldn’t be a more easier and helpful process….. Thank you again……
My whole life I've struggled with abandonment issues, abuse of the physical and of the sexual type. I was homeless on the train tracks from 14 to 19 years old, my poor childhood and upbringing effected every aspect of my life and cause me mental health and depression, and it made it hard to even want to keep a job however my work ethic is in a class of its own because of my struggle as a youth. I got married and own a non profit youth football organization called the las vegas aces I was married for 17 year and coached for 12 of those years....during that time my wife took care of everything financially cause I was always in and out of work. I never worried but I also didn't know how to be on my own. The worst thing happened and my. Wife left me and threw me out of our five bedroom home, I was homeless again, I was alone back where I started and had no idea how to be an adult, I struggled with addiction and even stuck a 12 in knife threw my stomach in a attempt at suicide. I found out during this time that my best friend at the time had been sleeping with my wife and I would up going to prison because of it and I did almost 3 years behind bars trying to repair myself from the inside out, I herd about FIT through inmate dot come as we say and I made a plan to go as soon as I got out....so I did and did what they told me to do and provide all the documents needed and I was taught how to be job ready do interviews,resumes how to stay on top of my finances and to stay positive...then I enrolled in the best thing I've ever done...the most important thing in my life the got me a career and put me in CDL CLASS A school Ahern through CSN and my life has improved so very much since the first day...I'm learn the man I was is not someone I have to be and I can say I can look at myself in the mirror again...my kids are happy and my daughter told me she was proud of me for the first time in 3 years...I know that I have a bright future and I will have security and stability that I provide myself for the first time....life is on the up and up and it is all thanks to my case work Tamara and all the people behind the scenes at foundation for independent tomorrow...I really don't know where I would be without them I owe my whole life to them and I don't think that is a debt I will ever be able to pay, so to them I say thank you. You can change your life regardless to the reason why it is messed up as long as you have the attitude commitment and effort you will be successful when you put those three things mixed with all the people working hard at the foundation of independent tomorrow beloved in me when no one else would and gave me the greatest gift I could ever get....a future.
Firstly I should start with her name, Tamara Garcia. She is awesome I never thought I’d be in a better position because of someone else. Right now I’m going through CDL (Commercial driver’s license) school that alone is life changing. I almost didn’t believe it. I followed the steps she said and with her help I’m here. I’m also leaning how to drive stick shift. A crazy dream of mine I’m now living. I hope I pass. Thank you Fit program and Tamara!
I've been going through Wellcare a rehabilitation housing program when I heard about FIT ! It's been life changing for me,I want to especially thank my case manager Tamara Garcia and Gavin also the OSHA instructor/forklift, I've been blessed with this place and people for helping me change for the good! Not only did they inspire me they were there every step of the way! They helped so much bus passes, clothes, resumes,job leads, they truly are here for you! My advise to everyone please put in all your effort because they certainly will aswell , also don't give up ,I'm now where I dreamed to be and it's all thanks for this opportunity and love from FIT! Can't forget about Cassie ford's shout out for showing me that I can get everything from my certifications and not passing on opportunities.Again FIT is a life changer I absolutely love and recommend everyone to come experience The miracles that take place ! Much love Blas Garcia
My time with FIT has been amazing, from the first day I walked in the door I was treated with nothing but love and respect. I have 2 weeks left of the phlebotomy program and it has been amazing. They have helped me get my career started and have been with me helping the whole time. My case manager tamara and my instructor has been the BEST & has made this whole process worth it! I couldn’t have done it without either of them! By far one of the best places to go, recommend it to everyone!
My Name is Michael smith let me tell you about my time an the chances that fit put in front on me from the day I walked in I was greeted with love seem like I was at home with the family they helped get me my career started an helped me thru the process any questions or things that I needed they was there thank for the love an support…
After spending 10+ years working in one field, I hadn’t created or updated any resume. Gavin and Casey helped me to present my work experience and human capital in an effective and organized way. Now I am confident that any employer reading my rapsheet will find I am a viable option to compete for a position.
This place is amazing! They have helped me so much to get back on my feet and get back into the work force after 4 years of scattered employment and homelessness.
With all the resources available to clients I would recommend FIT to anyone trying to get their life back together.
Extremely helpful, the services are done quickly especially if you do what your case manager asks of you. The staff is always willing to help, sometimes if your case manager is out they will have someone else help so that’s awesome

I'm blessed to be part of this program, the staff has been so helpful. I have the best case manager. I'm so thankful for all of the help they have given me. Without FIT I wouldn't have been able to go back to work. I would recommend this program to anyone.
FIT is an incredible resource to so many people in this community! They are unlike any other service here and truly help people get back on their feet. Thank you for everything!
FIT is such an amazing nonprofit that is truly changing the lives of people in Las Vegas. Being unemployed is so taxing on an individual not only due to having a lack of funds and resources to sustain themselves and their families. But it is also psychologically taxing by having to go through the application process over and over with no end in sight. Our community is grateful for FIT to help out those who are struggling during these times.
FIT is an amazing organization that helps serve the community. The work they do to help individuals receive the skills the need to succeed is unmatched.

Hello, my name is Lannie B. I was recently a participant in the services of F.I.T.
Due to the pandemic my employment was ended and I had been out of work for 5 months . I needed a different industry to find employment since my previous industry had been severely impacted by COVID-19. I heard of Foundation for an Independent Tomorrow and paid them a visit. I was warmly greeted by staff and given an informative orientation about their services for people in need of employment. I was introduced to Rita Spearman who would become my lead case manager. Rita’s compassion was palpable and her professionalism about me needing help was appreciated. Rita quickly went through my employment history and we discussed plausible transitions into new industries or perhaps an industry I had been apart of in the past. Professional Driving was an occupation that I had experience in but I had currently lacked the necessary license to re-enter the trucking world . Foundation for an Independent Tomorrow helped me get retrained and relicensed. Thanks to them I was able to transition through the lost of employment from the pandemic.
Thank you for being there for me when I need a little hope and help.

F.I.T program was reliable & very adamant about helping me find work. Not only that but they payed for all of my tools that I needed to get back into my trade. My case worker Karla was very thorough, detail oriented & compassionate towards my situation. If your looking for a hand up F.I.T program goes above & beyond to help people.
Caseworkers helped get me on track on my journey to becoming a successful member of society . My case manager Tameya Duckswoth displayed compassion and a heart to help others. They give hope to us coming out of prison, offering us a second chance in life. A positive place giving a positive outlook on life.
This is a great program they help with finding work in these hard times of a pandemic. They help you with training or certain certifications for you to have a career. The social workers are also great very patient and understanding. 5 start program!
Look they Help, fit Las Vegas ms. Rita Spearman dont play will have you educated and employed in a matter of months. You cant lose...facts
FIT has given me hope for my future. They have helped me get the right tools to have confidence in my further job search. FIT gives the opportunity to help anyone seeking job employment.
It's heartwarming to see a staff that truly believes and operates in the purpose if the organization. What an amazing organization!
I recommend anyone who really wants to rebuild themselves or is looking for a opportunity to level up in life to go to the fit program the staff there are really hands on on very helpful and provides amazing resources to help people like myself getting out of prison gain stability and continue in a Righteous direction if anyone want a better opportunity to do better I recommend that you visit the fit program
I would like to share a few of my experiences with FIT. My name is Mark and I have lived in Las Vegas for four years now. I was introduced to FIT through a previous Case Manager upon my release from Prison back in 2017. He informed me they could help me find employment or even help pay for a Trade. I enrolled and completed the orientation process. They helped me create a resume and fill out applications for employment. I was hired soon after and am working full time as a chef. Fast forward to now I am still currently employed with the same employer, but was interested in picking up a trade. So I reached back out to fit and explained to them I was interested in pursuing a career in trucking. I was accepted back and was introduced to Tameya my new case manger. She informed me that I would need a CDL license which they could fund and even place me in the next available class. Tameya helped me tremendously! From helping me update my resume, giving me study guides to help me with the tests, and the whole overall process of what its going to take to obtain the CDL. I am so grateful for the help that FIT has provided me with, and for helping me establish a career that is going to be life changing. Thanks to Tameya and the whole staff for all you have done.
I want to recommend F.I.T to the fullest. They helped me get into a trade school. And fully funded it. Not only that,they also supplied me with gas gift cards to make sure I could get to class daily.. On Christmas they gave my family and I gift cards and alot of toys for my kids. Very thankful for this place.
My name is Shane Hansen , and fit was amazing in not only directing me into a new career path , but also taking the steps to get me approved for a federal grant to go to vocational training to be a welder. I will graduate top of my class on Friday.
I can not tell you the inner pride I now have being able to complete this program with thier assistance .
Thank you FIT ..
FIT is an amazing agency in Las Vegas that very few people know about. All of the staff are so kind and the services they offer allow so many people to get a fresh start in life. If you need any employment or vocational training assistance, go and see FIT!
FIT has help me a lot ,and now I’m looking forward to my future and I no with FIT help I’ll be successful and professional.

This program has given me a completely new outlook on life. I now have been given the tools to get a job just like anyone else. I was taught here that my past doesn’t define who I am and shouldn’t prevent me from getting what I want most out of life. That staff is amazing! I felt like they personally all cared for me and was willing to help me without any judgment or anything.

Review from Guidestar
Great experience so far. They definitely help you with anything you need. The only things is communication. If you are not on top of your case manger and contacting them your opportunities will be lower. Multiple opportunities are based on deadlines so just stay on top.
Review from Guidestar
It was a great opportunity volunteering at FIT. I am glad that there is an organization that is helping so many people!

Review from Guidestar
So the people at fit are very inspirational they have your back from the beginning and like my case worker said “We will make the food, but you gotta make your plate.” Which in simple words we will help you get what you need but it’s up to you to make it happen. Im very thankful for the staff and support here at fit.
Came to FIT without any idea of a job or money to get there. They gave me everything I needed from job training they paid for to how to where to find jobs. They have been extremely helpful and friendly the entire way. Very grateful I came to FIT and got another chance at life.

Review from Guidestar
initially I was required to participate in the FIT program as a condition of my parole and as I continued the program I've learned job readiness skills that I did not possess prior to FIT. I have obtained 4 certifications that I never would've possessed without this program. I love that there's so many caring people here that want to see and help you succeed. I recommend this program to any individual looking for a fresh start after incarceration.
I love this place.
i needed help with my work attire and was help with it i love what they repersent. thanks for the help "FIT"
Well I was sent to FIT through another organization because they could not assist me with getting vouchers for employment. The very same day I was sent to FIT, they told they could help. I filled out the application and in just a few minutes I was signing my approved documents with my case manager Ms. Raquel. I really am grateful for the assistance.
This program is professional and needs to continue its needed support for the community.

Thanks to Raquel Landeros she helped me every step of the way thank you for everything you have done .
I heard about FIT through a friend and the program has been amazing. I was assigned a case manager, Raquel, who then walked me through step by step. Training, certification, and job placement. I highly recommend FIT to anyone that wants to better their life and find a superior job.
They helped me make my resume and apply for jobs in the field I wanted. I wanted to apply for jobs only in warehouse. I went to resume class and job club. The case managers there were real helpful and patient.
I was so grateful because Nazin Hernandez (my case manager) from One stop Career & Ms. Raquel L. (FIT), really worked together and communicated with me in order to get a school grant for my Phlebotomy program. They were both patient, professional and offered everything that they can do to help.
I am the Program Manager at a non-profit, Care Coalition. FIT comes to our monthly community partner meetings to present their resources. We have referred many individuals to FIT and have heard nothing but great things. Raquel is the case manager who attends and she makes sure to remind everyone in the community about all the services FIT offers. We are very happy to have FIT as community partners that we can rely on.
I wanted a new career path and was stuck. I wasn't sure if I wanted to be a nurse assistant or get licensed in cdl truck driving. I was referred by Raquel and later was given a case manager, Brandon. Brandon contacted me right away and let me know the options FIT had available. I didn't go through FIT's trainings but they did help me decide my career path. My case manager compared the average salary and hourly rate of both careers. I was able to make my decision and felt confident in it. Now it's my 2nd month and I'm officially on the road as a truck driver!
I had recently lost my job and was hired on the contingent offer that I got a guard card. With all my money spent on last month's rent and no income, I searched for any type of assistance and sure behold this wonderful program at fit. They not only helped me enroll into tech classes, but they paid for my guard card, shoes, fingerprinting and even gave me assistance with gas so I can get around. I am so appreciative of this place and would recommend it to anybody in need of assistance. Thank you Raquel for helping get back on track
FIT helped me so much. I'd been told over and over that I couldn't get a "real"
Job because of my background. But FIT paid for me to get trained as a phlebotomist and now I'm working full time, making enough to pay all my bills. My Case Manager helped me figure out which direction I should go. The whole staff was very nice and supportive. I can't say enough about the place.
Foundation For An Independent Tomorrow is an example of what all nonprofits should be like. Their clients come first! They have set a very high standard in operational efficiency, executive accountability, and client satisfaction. Their ability to find employment for their clients is a life changer. Their success rate is the highest in the nation.
FIT is a great program for people who need help to pay for secondary education. This program is excellent and saved my life. I had a very good experience here and I recommend it to anyone looking for a second chance at life. Thank you so much FIT! I truly appreciate it..
Raquel is my case manager and she has been a great case manager. She had me enrolled in the CNA program. And Ms. Becky who is the instructor has so much passion in her job. I have learned a lot. And have gained so much knowledge from her. I would definitely recommend FIT, to anyone who needs help getting back on their feet.
I was referred to Foundation for an Independent tomorrow by a friend, as I has some issues in finding employment due to my past history. I attended their job readiness classes, put together a resume and met with a case manager. I was shown various training programs that met with my career goals of becoming a cook. Because of the organization, I was able to attend the culinary academy sharpen my cooking and prep skills, and today I hold the position of Chef working on the Las Vegas Strip (Beer Park). I am making a really good wage and because of this have been able to purchase a car, and rent a 1 bedroom place. Thanks to FIT for all they have done for me.
They helped me with my resume & preparing for job interviews. They also payed for my FORKLIFT, OSHA & WAREHOUSE LOGISTICS CLASSES. This place has been a big help to me since i relocated from Seattle. Thank you fit foundation & my case manager Rita for continually checking on me
I have been a member of staff at FIT for several months now and I can see the strong dedication to helping the community in my colleagues every day. They truly care about their clients and seeing them succeed. It's an honor to work alongside them.
It would be nice if this place would actually have job listings posted on their website, they have outdated job fairs and basically nobody seems to care about how hard it is for a person with a criminal background to find work. I am disappointed to even say this is one of the only choices for people like myself to find something on the web to earn income. Regret wasting my time checking this so-called job placement team out!
The main female manager I was reporting to denied funding for school due to "marketable skills". She was very rude, not knowledgeable, and exposed my personal information via email with my ID and other information unsecurely emailed in plain text that would violate most non-profit policy. I have complained to their staff who refused to resolve the issue as well. They don't list their legal dept because they lack one.
I will never recommend this rancid group to anyone seeking full time employment.
These people came off as racist. I left here and tried hope 4 P. Much better program. Don't come here if you on Parole or Probation. They don't give you good time credit for this fraud scam of a non-profit
My name is Keith Young. I'm not much of a writer, but I wanted to take this opportunity
to tell of my experience with "FIT" and what they did for me.
First I want to start off by saying thanks to (Fit) Foundation For An Independent Tomorrow. And thank you to the staff that worked to help me to Gain my CDL License. the methods they used for getting Individuals ready for interveiws, and also to go out into the work place and be confident was very helpful. I believe the staff worked really hard, and had a real passion for helping others to get a second chance at success. They were also very incouraging, optimistic, and supportive . I would, and have already recommended Fit to a number of co-workers and colleague's who too were seeking to better themselves and become more successful. Thank You Fit!!!
I was looking to obtain my Class A CDL when my school recruiter suggested I apply for a grant through the WIOA program. After being turned down by Nye County Community Coalition, someone suggested I try FIT and the rest is history. I have now graduated from a local Trucking School and I am ready to begin my new career. My heartfelt thanks to the entire staff, board and founder of Foundation For An Independent Tomorrow. Randy Pollack
I have been a board member at FIT for many years and have consistently been proud to be involved with an extraordinary group of people accomplishing extraordinary results for unemployed and underemployed motivated clients. Every penny raised goes to provide vocational testing and training of clients, all officers and board members serve without pay and in fact pay for the opportunity to serve. FIT's success rate is unmatched in this segment, and is a direct result of the daily interaction with clients that has always separated FIT from other vocational training providers.
FIT IS A GOOD ORGANIZATION THAT HELPS PEOPLE JOB SEEKING AND TRAINING. THEY HELPED ME FIND WORK AND HELP ME GET MY OSHA 10 AND FORKLIFTING LICENSE.
I want to thank this place for helping me who don't know how to use a computer write a resume. I've been in a cave to the world and feel anxious looking for work. Its not easy when you're not prepared and nobody wants to help you.
The non profit organization FIT has succeeded in helping me obtain multiple certifications to assist me in finding full time employment.
They have a pc lab which works but always havin issues when I'm there since it's Wifi. That's why I rated 4 star. It cuts off sometimes.
I've been very impressed with what I have seen at FIT. They do all they can to help those in need find employment, and provide training and mentoring. The staff is professional, friendly, and genuinely seem to care about their clients. These are good people working for a good cause, and I have the utmost respect for what they do.
I first learned about FIT in 2013. I toured their facilities and met a few of the board members and was very impressed. The staff and the board members are 100% focused on the mission of helping unemployed, and under-employed Nevadan's get the training needed to get good paying jobs. I joined the board in 2015 and have seen numerous success stories where individuals were able to get jobs that allow them to support their families without public assistance. This is what a charity should do .... help people to help themselves. FIT is a tremendous asset to Southern Nevada.
The services FIT provides has helped to give people jobs who are facing barriers in employment. They have gifted people with the work tools to enhance their lives. I think they are outstanding since nobody else in the city provides these services directly.
FIT is an amazing organization that truly cares. I have been with FIT for the last year and can honestly say that each and every one of our Case Managers care about the people they serve. Being in an administrative role at FIT doesn't give me the opportunity to work with the clients one-on-one, but I do get to meet them at our various events we hold and I have to say hearing the clients tell us about their story and how far they have come as a result of FIT really makes me proud to say I work for an amazing organization.
The work that F.I.T. does for the community is priceless! The employees care and work so hard to bring a multitude of services to their clients.
FIT will help you learn how to present yourself for a career. In classes at FIT you will learn how to love yourself again and that second chances in life are entirely possible. I went there thinking they would get me a job then I realized that I wasn't ready yet. FIT taught me how to present myself professionally and for that I thank them. Sign up now and attend classes for a few weeks and your outlook will change.
They wouldn't train me for a job. They just want people to email them resumes so they can show that they're helping people, but really they're not doing nothing. I've been unemployed for 4 years. They didn't offer any job training at all.
