CNMI Workforce Investment Agency Program Manager Joseph Villacrusis is inviting the public to the San Vicente Youth Center for an “open house” experience of the new WIA satellite office from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. today, Thursday, Nov. 16.
The San Vicente Youth Center is on San Vicente Loop, next to the basketball court.
WIA’s training partners — such as Island Training Solutions — will be on site to offer information about enhancing one’s workplace skills, Villacrusis said.
“Because [the San Vicente Youth Center] hasn’t been open for a while, we wanted to let the community know that we are there,” Villacrusis said. “Anyone interested in training opportunities that can lead them to sustainable employment can come and visit us there.”
Villacrusis said the WIA satellite office in San Vicente aims to “provide resources to the community” in the San Vicente, Dandan, and surrounding areas.
WIA clients in the area don’t have to travel to Capital Hill to use WIA resources.
“We try to minimize barriers and challenges for our community,” Villacrusis said. “Instead of having to travel so far to pick up an application, they can come to our [satellite] office to get our services.”
As for WIA’s affiliated training partners, they provide training to those who want to enter the “leisure and hospitality; infrastructure; care economy; environmental remediation and mitigation” industries.
Villacrusis said WIA can pay for the training of qualified individuals. Talk to WIA representatives for more information at the open house. You may also call (670) 488-1710/1720 or email cnmiwioa@dol.gov.mp/.
