“To One Stop in Yuba City,

I would like to take a moment to thank the wonderful staff at the EDD office on Wilbur Ave. I have been coming here for at least five weeks in a row, four to five times a week. Everyone was so polite and professional as well as courteous and helpful. Monica and Bobby even remembered my name after a couple of days. Sandy and Armando were very helpful and willing to help even when I was o.k.

I have found that most people who work for the state just want the check and lose sight of the reason for their position……to help people! I was in awe of the way the staff here takes pride in helping out everyone who walks in that door! Kristy was one of the people who showed concern when I told her of my situation and made some helpful suggestions to make sure I accomplished my goal of finding not just work, but a job where I can grow and put all my skills to work to help my employer (when hired). Tamara was helpful when I thought I blew up the printer (her and Sandy both) and didn’t give me any crazy looks, which is a good thing because some places will make you feel bad about something that you didn’t mean to do.

In closing, I would like you to know that thanks to these outstanding individuals, I have landed a job in my career path with a large law firm in Sacramento, that will allow me to finish my A.S. in Paralegal Studies and advance within the firm and receive monetary help while I continue my education. It has not been easy for me since I moved to Sacramento from Los Angeles in August 08 but the staff at One Stop made it a little easier to cope with my situation.

Once again thanks to all of the people at One Stop E.D.D., keep doing what you’re doing and you all will be blessed with peace and happiness!”  

Sincerely,
Mr. Roscoe J. Morris

“I have to say that the Sutter County One Stop has been nothing but absolutely helpful.  They made attending Yuba College an easier experience by helping me with whatever I might need and pointing me in the direction I need to go.   Thank you, Sutter County One Stop!”

“The best thing to remember is to stay constant in your pursuit of work.  It may seem like it won’t happen but it will.  After over 100 apps it did, so it will for you too, thanks to the One Stop.”

“The One Stop services have been very instrumental in not only finding me a job, but a career in the technology field with Alliant Networking Services.

They have also helped me to achieve my Comp TIA computer networking certifications, strengthening my skill set in the field of technology.

Thank you Sutter County One Stop”

“Hi, my name is Michael Bearden.  I came to One Stop, out of work, not knowing what to do because there was no work in the oil fields.  Now I’m employed as a truck driver and in a career where there is always work.  Thanks to Mady Kawahara and One Stop staff for all of their hard work.”

“I believe that treating my search like a job helped me. I was persistent, dressed appropriately and always had a positive attitude. Everyone at Job Central was very helpful and took time to assist me; even with computers.”

"I started taking classes at Yuba Community College to apply for the AND Nursing Program.  With the help of WIA funding and guidance of Araceli Gonzalez, I was able to graduate in December 2008.  WIA helped me acquire the needed books and supplies to achieve my goal of becoming an RN and working in the Yuba-Sutter area."

"I was first introduced to the One Stop WIA program during my second semester.  This program has been very beneficial to my educational goals in the Butte College A DN program.  The WIA program has provided me with books, shoes, uniforms, medical instruments and a variety of other tools toward my success.  This program is very important for the success of the individuals, and we as a community need to support this phenomenal program.  I really needed the assistance of the program because I went from being a full time employee to working one day a week.  Being the breadwinner of the house, this caused me to have financial problems and many sleepless and worrisome nights. This program saved me. Lastly, I would like to thank the One Stop Staff for always being there for me."

Darla Hanks came to the Sutter County One-Stop in the Summer of 2008, inquiring about services offered through the Workforce Investment Act Program (WIA).  She had been working as a Bookkeeper for a construction company for the past 8 years.  However, due to the downturn in the economy, the business closed and Darla found herself without employment.   Because she hadn’t been using all her clerical skills, Darla felt that an upgrade of these skills would make her more marketable as a new job seeker. She expressed interest in the ROP classes offered at the One Stop.  After exploring the various courses that were offered, Darla settled on the Office Technology class.   She proved to be a very diligent student and always had excellent attendance.  Darla earned Certificates of Achievement for Microsoft Word 2007, Business English, Microsoft Office Computer Applications and Office Technology. 

Juana Gonzalez was so impressed with how the Sutter County One Stop helped her in creating a resume, assisting with job search techniques and suggestions that she wanted to express her appreciation to our agency. Juana credits the One Stop with providing the necessary skills that helped her get a job in Yuba City as a Certified Nursing Assistant (C.N.A).

Juana Gonzalez offered to be included as a success story to show her appreciation for the help she received at the One Stop. Now she is moving to Southern California to work within the medical field as a C.N.A. with the Department of Corrections. Congratulations Juana!
