Playa Vista Jobs has assited and helped many of our clients gain training, employment, and careers in the construction field. Playa Vista is a very professional and unique organization that focus on all those that have severe barriers. Not many agencies concentrate in the underserve population, but for Playa Vista is heir bread and butter. I will continue to volunteer and support their program because they make our job much easier and our clients get to transition to a positive place. Many of our clients became self sufficient because they got a career after attending Playa Vista Job Opportunities and Business Servces.
Thank you,
Much ado is made about "second chance" and there is great validity to that. And in the ex-offender populatrion served by PV-JOBS, it is often true that this is an actual "first chance" for clients to be offered a true and real opportunity for job training, placement and supportive services. The impact of acheived self-sufficiency is immeasurable beyond the metrics of income and job placement.
The "learn and earn" offered by the trades are underused tools to strenghtning the middle income job levels slowly wasting away in this country because of the lack of attention of that value. As well, the dignity of work has little to do with job titles, the dignity comes from being a productive, contributing member of our communities of need.
PVJOBS is the greatest non-profit there is. PVJOBS is a place that really provides a second chance to at risk individuals that have made and learned from a mistake they made in life. If you are a hard working person that is willing to do what it takes to earn that second chance in life then PVJOBS is the place for you. I came into PVJOBS looking for a second chance and thank God I got it. Now I'm able to help others do the same, it feels good to be able to give hope to those that so many have closed the door on due to having a criminal record. PVJOBS is a blessing to many.
PVJOBS has been very influential in the community. They are one of the non-profits that truly believes in their mission to help others and it shows in the way they interact with the people they help. It is great to see that there is an organization out there that does exactly what they say they will do. It is rare and it is much needed
PVJOBS is a great organization that is truly committed to helping the at-risk community and those that have been involved with the justice system. I am deeply indebted to them for the employment and career services they provided me with at a critical time in my life. Through the help of the staff and the executive director, I was able to begin my career despite past mistakes. Thanks to PVJOBS, I have been able to shift my life trajectory and have become a productive and contributing member of society. This place is great!!!
