Strive East Harlem Employment

Not a bad program if you are seeking certifications relating to healthcare or construction the people who conducted the class where great however the employment specialist was so rude on the phone for no reason seems like she doesn't consider how other people feel or what they are going through after talking with her on the phone she really made me feel like I was unworthy and wasting her time she doesn't have any sympathy when taking with other, at least learn how to speak with others with some sort of respect. She doesn't help you with job hunting better off finding a job on your own.

STRIVE is a very good program, just started on Monday. The program is good I am gaining a lot of knowledge with peers, Latisha Smith, and Ms. Belinda as well she pushed me on passing the test as well. The classes are really good and everyone keeps me very positive. Just think of this program as a real job, that's how my mindset is. Now I am going to do my CPR hands on, then I would do my food license handler, blood borne, and the OSHA-10. It feels good to learn something new

This organization is the best in what they do. STRIVE offers opportunities for individuals to get their lives back. Positive minds striving for positive change through mindful possibilities.

Awesome organization! Worked as facilitator for one of their programs. Upper management was extremely supportive and invited ideas to help continued development of programming and staff.

Did the fatherhood program in may 2018, Ended up taking the cdl and was contacted within a day. Hopefully this time around the class is completed and I'll be driving across state line! This my 2020 update, I have security license and needed employment, Derrick Silvers and his employees, especially Denise really helped me hit the pavement running. I went on countless interviews with many companies.

The first interviewer was a reputable security company and they kept me coming for 8 different interviews as well as balancing other interviews in between. They helped me with clothing vouches and gave me mock interviews to strengthen my skills. One year later, at the same job, I'm thankful to Jehovah God for giving me the courage to endure when I just wanted to cry. Strive never doubted my abilities and kept sending me out to different companies, I'm writing this update because they are definitely worth working with.

This program helps you to get on your feet and I'll tell you! This job, they are the ones that have the opportunities for those who are willing to work for them! Union employement, benefits, and healthcare couldn't just land into my lap without constant prayers and being humble enough to just work with them. Thank you Derrick Silvers! Denise and most of all, my Heavenly Father for the strength!

Lets just say STRIVE CHANGED MY LIFE. LOVE EVERYONE THERE THAT WORKS THERE FUN SMART AND HELPFUL WITH ALL MY NEEDS. LOVE THE COURSE I GOT MY SECURITY LICENSE WITH THERE HELP.

If you're stuck in lufe and dont know where you want to go in life, this place is a good start! They teach you EVERYTHING! Its free and very helpful!

Great people with good intentions for you they just won't help you unless they really want to. I guess they pick and choose who to help I been involved with strive for 4 years and got one Job interview to a Starbucks which isnt even what i went to the strive program for.
