SOUTH BAY ONE-STOP BUSINESS & CAREER CENTERS
Meet Noel Moore
Workforce Challenge:
Redondo Beach resident Noel Moore, age 47, had been out of work for more than seven months after getting laid off from a nonprofit organization called Stepping Stones which had lost its funding. She was close to exhausting her unemployment benefits. Though she had extensive experience in social service work, she couldn’t find employment in that field.
Workforce Solution:
Noel found out from a friend about the services offered at the Torrance One-Stop Business and Career Center and during her first visit was processed into the system and began receiving training in job search skills, resume writing and interviewing techniques. She was enrolled in the On-the-Job Training program.
Outcome and Benefits:
After five months, Noel interviewed for the position of Drug Court Counselor at the Asian American Drug Abuse Program in Inglewood and was hired in May 2018.
