Creative Visions Job Club has witnessed a marked increase in participation by employers and individuals seeking employment. The Job Club, which is part of Creative Visions’ Job Readiness programs, was started three months ago as a way to provide an opportunity for unemployed individuals to meet and share their efforts to seek employment, learn useful tips to maximize their employment search and meet potential employers and Human Resource experts.

The Job Club meets twice a month at Creative Visions 1343 13^th Street and consists of a speaker, which is often an employer talking providing information about employment opportunities or a human resource professionals who will critique resumes and provide best practice tips in searching for a job.

The Job Club is free and open to the community and focuses on individuals who have challenged backgrounds that make it difficult for them to find employment and individuals who have been unemployed for 12 months or more. “Finding and maintaining suitable employment  helps lift an individual from the grips of poverty. Our Job Club not only helps an individual to find employment, but also helps them address the stress and challenges they face while seeking employment.” said Creative Visions’ CEO Ako Abdul- Samad.

Individuals do not have to attend all meetings to participate, but regular attendance is encouraged. If you would like to join the Job Club, or if you are an employer and would like to participate, please contact Kevin Clark, Job Readiness Coordinator at 244-4003.
