| Overview
|
| Universidad del Este (UNE) in Carolina, Puerto Rico, will receive a Hispanic-Serving Institutions Assisting Communities grant to promote job training and employment opportunities, and to provide education to enhance self sufficiency, employability, and economic self reliance through the UNE Community Career Center. Grant funds will be used to construct the center and design and develop center services and an operational plan. Services will revolve around two main components: comprehensive vocational and occupational counseling, and job placement. The counseling component will include promotion and dissemination activities, needs assessment, individual and group intervention through workshops and seminars, and follow-up and referrals. The job placement component will include promotion and dissemination activities, online or in-person placement services, an employers and job opportunity announcements database, preliminary qualifications screening, preparation and mock job interviews, and job follow-up and referrals. In addition to serving the community development needs of Carolina, the center will also serve as the "career" headquarters for six satellite centers throughout Puerto Rico. The center is the unique product of private and public alliances between the Universidad del Este, the Agencia Municipal de Oportunidad de Empleo (the municipal employment agency), the Municipality of Carolina's Local Area Youth Council, the State Agency for Women's Advocate, and AmeriCorps Vista.
