Workforce One Workshop

Last week several of our Level 3 students attended a workshop at the Upper Manhattan Workforce 1 Center about preparing for job interviews. They also applied to use Workforce 1’s job search services, which is why they have the blue cards. Way to go!

About Workforce 1:

Workforce1 is a service provided by the NYC Department of Small Business Services that prepares and connects qualified candidates to job opportunities in New York City. We make strong matches for both candidates and employers by using a unique combination of recruitment expertise, industry knowledge, and skill-building workshops to strengthen candidates’ employment prospects.

How do we do it? We develop relationships directly with businesses that are hiring, then we get a deep understanding of what they’re looking for in a candidate. We use that understanding to help you  connect to the right employer – and then succeed by putting your best foot forward.

This semester the University Settlement Adult Literacy Program was lucky enough to have a few students from the Masters in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages program at New York University as tutors. They helped some of our beginning students get extra practice in listening, speaking, reading, and writing outside of their regular ESOL classes. Thank you so much, Natalia, Allison, Ye, Shuwan, and Junfeng!
