All data in this report is from fiscal year 2016:
July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016.
We are proud to present the 2016 RochesterWorks!
annual report. 2016 was a year of transition as we
continued to refine our traditional services to adjust to
a new guiding legislation, the Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act (WIOA), while tailoring our approach
to the shifting demands of our regional workforce
environment.
WIOA modified federal workforce development system
requirements in several key ways. In particular, the law
eliminates the previously mandated sequence of services. This
adjustment excites us. WIOA allows workforce development
agencies like RochesterWorks! the flexibility to use federal
employment and training dollars to meet strategic priorities at
the local level.
Our approach centers on meeting the needs of our customers
within and outside of our walls. In short, we renewed our focus
on our core strength: bridging the gap between job seekers and
the employers who are hiring. We doubled down on our
current programs and invested new grant dollars in new
programs targeting our priority populations: the long-term
unemployed and individuals with barriers. We expanded
employment services for veterans, individuals with disabilities,
youth, and ex-offenders. We connected these groups with
training, employment, and careers. This focus allows us to
refine and maximize the effectiveness of our services.
Despite our inward focus, we recognize that our region’s
workforce system must take a collaborative approach to
create a competitive advantage for the region, its employers,
and our customers. That’s why we utilize the strengths of our
educational and economic development partners to fully
satisfy our customers’ needs. We know that our workforce
thrives when our entire system works in concert.

Embracing Innovation
In some areas WIOA will call for significant changes to how career services are
delivered. In Monroe County, we will be incorporating the “American Job Center”
branding requirement into our local brand. The goal of the national brand is to create
a unified, nationwide focus and develop a strong, single workforce development
network. We are confident that our distribution system is well-positioned to provide
the enhanced level of services outlined in the legislation.
The four WIOA core programs are charged with helping individuals acquire the
knowledge and skills necessary to connect with businesses. Locally we have been
working with our partner programs for years. The legislation is also structured to focus
more on the developing strategies to meet the needs of employers, a goal that is not new
to us. Moreover, WIOA calls for the creation of sector strategies in demand industries,
while providing additional flexibility in the delivery of training services.
Strengthening partnerships
Through our practice of employer-driven leadership and business engagement we have
already identified sector strategies and demand occupations. This has empowered us
to become more innovative and creative in finding and customizing training solutions.
Working directly with employers to understand their hiring needs allows us to assess
our job seeker talent and provide training that will fill skill gaps. Our goal is to prepare
individuals for work while helping employers reduce their hiring risk and improve their
overall productivity. We have always been at the forefront of truly aligning and integrating
our services and resources to better assist our job seekers and employers. Through solid
business partnerships we are able to meet current workforce demand and develop career
pathways that address the future needs of our region.
Regional Collaboration
RochesterWorks! has made a firm commitment to align our goals with those of the
Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council and the Rochester-Monroe
County Anti-Poverty Initiative. We have confirmed our collective focus on developing
a competitive, vibrant workforce. Through our mutual desire to achieve success we will
help individuals attain self-sufficiency, enhance career opportunities, and help stabilize
and grow our local economy.
We look forward to this next program year and to solidifying our strong working
relationship with our government partners. We appreciate the level of support we have
received from the New York State Department of Labor, the County of Monroe, and the
City of Rochester. We are fortunate in our region to have elected officials at all levels of
government who are committed to workforce development, training, and innovation to
achieve our common economic development goals.

Finger Lakes Hired addresses the needs of businesses
and job seekers in the nine county Finger Lakes region.
Its focus is bringing together workforce partners and
community colleges to help prepare and place the
long-term unemployed into local, in-demand jobs in the
Advanced Manufacturing, Information Technology, and
Health Care sectors.
The initiative is made possible by a $5.2 Million U.S. Department of Labor (DOL)
Ready to Work grant and is fully funded by federal money. Grant partners include
RochesterWorks!, Finger Lakes Works, GLOW Works, Finger Lakes Community
College, Genesee Community College, and Monroe Community College.
Finger Lakes Hired has been central to our efforts in regional collaboration and the
development of industry sector strategies. The project has significantly increased
training resources available in the Advanced Manufacturing, Information Technology,
and Health Care sectors. We have already exceeded our four-year target for classroom
training. Additionally, the project has given us a head start on workforce strategies
that are new under WIOA, including the work experience tryout — an opportunity for
businesses to “try out” a worker without the risk associated with a new hire.

Our Year in Review
RochesterWorks! takes pride in reshaping our services to offer customized opportunities
for our community’s ever changing workforce. During the 2016 fiscal year, 54% of our
customers were employed at registration, a 25% rise over last year. This recent trend
reflects a local job market that has absorbed many long-term unemployed people into
lower-skilled, lower-paying or “survival” jobs.

5 Steps to Rapid Employment Celebrates
Four Years of Best-in-Class Success
RochesterWorks! marked its fourth year offering the 5 Steps to Rapid Employment
program to Job Seekers. The program is powerful both in the way it is delivered and in
the results it delivers.
The 5 Steps program includes a 5-day intensive training period, online support, 1-1
coaching and campaign team meetings for graduates until they find employment.
With nearly 1,000 graduates; the program has proven highly effective. Graduates
typically find work in less than 7 weeks from the day they graduate, compared to a
national average of 30 to 40 weeks. This increases
household income dramatically and reduces
unemployment. No less than 300 employers now
have a “5 Steps Graduate” in their ranks. As a
result, the program is gaining a strong reputation
with employers. Graduates are often seen as
exceptionally prepared candidates.
Participants provide consistent and frequent
feedback about how the program has gone beyond
“job search” and helped them to rethink transition
as an opportunity, not an adversity. As recent
graduate Patti C. put it in her “landing letter”:
“(Because of the) support I have received from
RochesterWorks!, my job campaign has really been
a positive experience. Your commitment to the
people you serve is inspiring and what might have
been very bleak days resulted in a joyful time of
exploration and enlightenment. I am thankful for
your mission and the positive energy you exude.
RochesterWorks! and the community you serve will
continue to be in my prayers!
— Patti C, 2016 “5 Steps Graduate”

Criminal Justice System Partnership
Provides Pre and Post Release Services
In June 2016, RochesterWorks! was awarded the Linking to Employment Activities
Pre-release Specialized American Job Centers (LEAP-2) grant. This 24-month US
Department of Labor grant, known locally as RochesterWorks! Reentry Connections,
is a partnership with the Monroe County Correctional Facility and Monroe County
Reentry Task Force lead agency Delphi Drug and Alcohol Council.
Funds for the grant will allow American Job Center services to be provided to local
inmates to prepare them for employment prior to release and to continue providing
services in the community once they are released. Convicted adults who are serving
their sentence in the Monroe County Correctional Facility and have a release date
scheduled within 180 days are eligible to participate in the grant. The goal of the
program is to serve 100 offenders including 20 females and 80 males. RochesterWorks!
is excited to be chosen as one of the agencies to provide pre-release and post-release
services to the re-entry population.
Collaboration with RIT and Veterans
Outreach Center Provides Training
for Unemployed Vets and Others in
Manufacturing
A new grant-funded program from the New York State Department of Labor provided
20 veterans and dislocated workers with training at RIT toward industry-recognized
certifications in 2016. These certifications are crucial qualifications for many electronics
assembly and manufacturing jobs. Companies such as IEC Electronics provided tuition
reimbursement and career advancement opportunities for those who wish to grow
from entry level positions to Quality Engineer or Test Engineer roles.

Manufacturing Training Program
Provides Young Adults with Marketable
Skills for Job Success
RochesterWorks! and Monroe County Department of Human Services have partnered
with the Young Adults Manufacturing Training Employment Program (YAMTEP) to
provide another benefit to individuals involved in the Work Experience Program.
In just 90 days, YAMTEP bridges basic skill gaps for entry level employment in
manufacturing that many individuals receiving benefits from the Department of
Human Services face.
“Students are taught basic manufacturing skills, attendance, punctuality and soft
skills,“ says training founder Tyrone Reaves. “This allows them to enter into the
workforce and become valuable and productive employees.”
If an individual is not hired by the program’s end, RochesterWorks! sponsors a job fair
exclusively for those completing this program.
YAMTEP partners with several community agencies and strategic partners to obtain
higher success rates. To date, YAMTEP has completed three series of trainings and
has successfully graduated more than 25 people from the Work Experience Program.
This type of training is very practical for a population requiring marketable skills and a
quick turnaround time to employment opportunities for lucrative futures.

Leslie Makes 180-degree Change in
her Life after Completing
RochesterWorks! Programs
Leslie began her relationship with RochesterWorks! by participating in the job readiness
training for individuals with families. Following that she immediately participated in the
Work Experience Program.
“The (job readiness) program was very beneficial because it educated everyone in all
topics, not just a few,” said Leslie. “RochesterWorks! covered every aspect and issue a
single parent like myself could face and it really helped me see the benefit of this type of
program. We discussed the importance of having good credit, having a good foundation,
activities that we can do with our children as a family unit, and many job readiness
topics. This helped me transition to the work experience program because I felt I had all
the tools I needed to perform my hours while looking for paid employment. “
To others in similar situations, Leslie advises, “For me personally, I needed to find
employment. I have the skills, I have the support, and I am the one that needs to provide
the support for my family. These programs are not as bad as people think when you are
required to go to them, you are guaranteed to learn many things and RochesterWorks!
is a great supporter. RochesterWorks! (staff) go beyond their job titles; this entire
office comes together to help and it is like you become a lean, mean, fighting machine.
RochesterWorks! helped me do a complete 180-degree change in my life, not because
they had to but because they wanted to. I felt the sincerity of each person I worked with;
they made me feel as though they wanted to work with me, not because they had to but
because they wanted to.”
Leslie participated in the Work Experience Program for a month after completing the
job readiness training. She worked with a RochesterWorks! Career Services Advisor and
the St. Paul Placements team and is happy to say, “I am no longer on public assistance, I
am very happy to be off of the system and taking care of my own family.”
“RochesterWorks! staff go beyond their job
titles; this entire office comes together to help
and it is like you become a lean, mean, fighting,
machine. RochesterWorks! helped me do
a complete 180-degree change in my life, not
because they had to but because they wanted to.”

Youth Services
Program Evolution Brings Success
2016 brought successful changes to our Youth Program. With additional staff we were
able to provide a much needed link between our summer programming and the greater
RochesterWorks! Career Center. This exposure and staff rapport opened the door for our
youth to seek support from RochesterWorks! after their internships concluded.
With the creation of a Youth Career Services Coordinator position, RochesterWorks!
strengthened its partnerships with Youth Navigators, Rochester City School District, and
community agencies, improving support and outcomes for our interns. This has also
strengthened connections with businesses in the community, increasing the employer
base to 50-plus worksite partners in the public, private and non-profit spheres.

Youth Find Healthy Opportunities at RGH
More than 60 youth participated in internships at local hospitals and healthcare
facilities in the 2015-16 year, including 30 at a new location at Rochester General
Hospital (RGH). These placements are opportunities for career exploration, and
fostering a stronger understanding of professional opportunities in the surging local
healthcare field. At the conclusion of their experiences, many youth interns have been
able to obtain employment at RGH, thanks to positions created specifically for Summer
Youth Employment Program interns and interviews offered to all who wish to continue
beyond summer.
Particularly successful this summer were two refugee students supported by the
Catholic Family Center Unaccompanied Refugee Minor Foster Care Program. Through
collaborations with their family, caseworkers, interpreters, SYEP staff and RGH, they
were connected with hospital opportunities and thrived. Working 40 hours per week,
they gained valuable work experience, built their English language skills, and received
great feedback from their supervisors. Their story speaks to RochesterWorks!
commitment to connecting with outside partnerships to ensure successful outcomes for
all youth workers in our community.

Shakur Griffin’s Work Ethic Pays Off
It’s obvious that Shakur Griffin can’t wait to get to work.
“He gets up at 5 a.m.” Shakur’s mom Rachel Douglass says. “I told him, ‘You don’t need
to get up that early, your shift doesn’t start till 8. And he said, ‘Mom I know I want to
make sure I get to work on time.’ He enjoys helping people.”
Shakur worked at the front desk at RochesterWorks!’ Waring Road Career Center
during the summer of 2016. Tall, handsome, quiet, and always dressed for success, he
helped customers with their resumes, online applications, and how to navigate work
search websites. Customers couldn’t tell the difference between the 18-year-old and
older workers around him.
His work ethic is already paying off. He accepted a full time job in customer service for
Frontier Communications in October 2016.
“Real life experience
is the best experience.
It should not be taken
for granted. Being in
this program could
open so many doors.”
Shakur’s advice for the
next generation of summer
youth interns

  • 2. This report is dedicated to all RochesterWorks! team members in recognition of their services to the community, their dedication to increase our effectiveness, improving our efficiencies, and creating innovative programs for clients. Their daily enthusiasm and commitment to our cause can be seen in their participation in our branding, self-examination, and defining initiative this past year resulting in our promise: Dedication RochesterWorks! Annual Report 2016 Innovative. Customized. Opportunities. Only RochesterWorks! provides a unique set of customized services to businesses and job seekers at little-to-no cost, preparing a skilled workforce and connecting them with opportunities in our region. OUR PROMISE Caring • Dedicated • Knowledgeable • Progressive • Professional • Responsive

Contents 3www.rochesterworks.org Letter from the Executive Director...........4 Business Services.........................................6 Job Seeker Services.................................... 10 St. Paul Overview.........................................16 Youth Services..............................................19 Financial Reports........................................23 All data in this report is from fiscal year 2016: July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016.
  • 4. We are proud to present the 2016 RochesterWorks! annual report. 2016 was a year of transition as we continued to refine our traditional services to adjust to a new guiding legislation, the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), while tailoring our approach to the shifting demands of our regional workforce environment. WIOA modified federal workforce development system requirements in several key ways. In particular, the law eliminates the previously mandated sequence of services. This adjustment excites us. WIOA allows workforce development agencies like RochesterWorks! the flexibility to use federal employment and training dollars to meet strategic priorities at the local level. Our approach centers on meeting the needs of our customers within and outside of our walls. In short, we renewed our focus on our core strength: bridging the gap between job seekers and the employers who are hiring. We doubled down on our current programs and invested new grant dollars in new programs targeting our priority populations: the long-term unemployed and individuals with barriers. We expanded employment services for veterans, individuals with disabilities, youth, and ex-offenders. We connected these groups with training, employment, and careers. This focus allows us to refine and maximize the effectiveness of our services. Despite our inward focus, we recognize that our region’s workforce system must take a collaborative approach to create a competitive advantage for the region, its employers, and our customers. That’s why we utilize the strengths of our educational and economic development partners to fully satisfy our customers’ needs. We know that our workforce thrives when our entire system works in concert. Peter Pecor Executive Director 4 Letter from the Executive Director Workforce Success through RochesterWorks! Annual Report 2016 Sergio Esteban Chairman
  • 5. Embracing Innovation In some areas WIOA will call for significant changes to how career services are delivered. In Monroe County, we will be incorporating the “American Job Center” branding requirement into our local brand. The goal of the national brand is to create a unified, nationwide focus and develop a strong, single workforce development network. We are confident that our distribution system is well-positioned to provide the enhanced level of services outlined in the legislation. The four WIOA core programs are charged with helping individuals acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to connect with businesses. Locally we have been working with our partner programs for years. The legislation is also structured to focus more on the developing strategies to meet the needs of employers, a goal that is not new to us. Moreover, WIOA calls for the creation of sector strategies in demand industries, while providing additional flexibility in the delivery of training services. Strengthening partnerships Through our practice of employer-driven leadership and business engagement we have already identified sector strategies and demand occupations. This has empowered us to become more innovative and creative in finding and customizing training solutions. Working directly with employers to understand their hiring needs allows us to assess our job seeker talent and provide training that will fill skill gaps. Our goal is to prepare individuals for work while helping employers reduce their hiring risk and improve their overall productivity. We have always been at the forefront of truly aligning and integrating our services and resources to better assist our job seekers and employers. Through solid business partnerships we are able to meet current workforce demand and develop career pathways that address the future needs of our region. Regional Collaboration RochesterWorks! has made a firm commitment to align our goals with those of the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council and the Rochester-Monroe County Anti-Poverty Initiative. We have confirmed our collective focus on developing a competitive, vibrant workforce. Through our mutual desire to achieve success we will help individuals attain self-sufficiency, enhance career opportunities, and help stabilize and grow our local economy. We look forward to this next program year and to solidifying our strong working relationship with our government partners. We appreciate the level of support we have received from the New York State Department of Labor, the County of Monroe, and the City of Rochester. We are fortunate in our region to have elected officials at all levels of government who are committed to workforce development, training, and innovation to achieve our common economic development goals. 5www.rochesterworks.org Innovation and Collaboration

  • 8. Business Services (CONTINUED) Increasing Training Opportunities and Advancing Workforce Strategies November 1, 2014 to October 31, 2018 Finger Lakes Hired addresses the needs of businesses and job seekers in the nine county Finger Lakes region. Its focus is bringing together workforce partners and community colleges to help prepare and place the long-term unemployed into local, in-demand jobs in the Advanced Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Health Care sectors. The initiative is made possible by a $5.2 Million U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Ready to Work grant and is fully funded by federal money. Grant partners include RochesterWorks!, Finger Lakes Works, GLOW Works, Finger Lakes Community College, Genesee Community College, and Monroe Community College. Finger Lakes Hired has been central to our efforts in regional collaboration and the development of industry sector strategies. The project has significantly increased training resources available in the Advanced Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Health Care sectors. We have already exceeded our four-year target for classroom training. Additionally, the project has given us a head start on workforce strategies that are new under WIOA, including the work experience tryout — an opportunity for businesses to “try out” a worker without the risk associated with a new hire. 8 RochesterWorks!

  • 10. Our Year in Review RochesterWorks! takes pride in reshaping our services to offer customized opportunities for our community’s ever changing workforce. During the 2016 fiscal year, 54% of our customers were employed at registration, a 25% rise over last year. This recent trend reflects a local job market that has absorbed many long-term unemployed people into lower-skilled, lower-paying or “survival” jobs.

  • 12. 12 5 Steps to Rapid Employment Celebrates Four Years of Best-in-Class Success RochesterWorks! marked its fourth year offering the 5 Steps to Rapid Employment program to Job Seekers. The program is powerful both in the way it is delivered and in the results it delivers. The 5 Steps program includes a 5-day intensive training period, online support, 1-1 coaching and campaign team meetings for graduates until they find employment. With nearly 1,000 graduates; the program has proven highly effective. Graduates typically find work in less than 7 weeks from the day they graduate, compared to a national average of 30 to 40 weeks. This increases household income dramatically and reduces unemployment. No less than 300 employers now have a “5 Steps Graduate” in their ranks. As a result, the program is gaining a strong reputation with employers. Graduates are often seen as exceptionally prepared candidates. Participants provide consistent and frequent feedback about how the program has gone beyond “job search” and helped them to rethink transition as an opportunity, not an adversity. As recent graduate Patti C. put it in her “landing letter”: “(Because of the) support I have received from RochesterWorks!, my job campaign has really been a positive experience. Your commitment to the people you serve is inspiring and what might have been very bleak days resulted in a joyful time of exploration and enlightenment. I am thankful for your mission and the positive energy you exude. RochesterWorks! and the community you serve will continue to be in my prayers! — Patti C, 2016 “5 Steps Graduate” RochesterWorks!

  • 14. Job Seeker Services (CONTINUED) 14 RochesterWorks! Annual Report 2016 Criminal Justice System Partnership Provides Pre and Post Release Services In June 2016, RochesterWorks! was awarded the Linking to Employment Activities Pre-release Specialized American Job Centers (LEAP-2) grant. This 24-month US Department of Labor grant, known locally as RochesterWorks! Reentry Connections, is a partnership with the Monroe County Correctional Facility and Monroe County Reentry Task Force lead agency Delphi Drug and Alcohol Council. Funds for the grant will allow American Job Center services to be provided to local inmates to prepare them for employment prior to release and to continue providing services in the community once they are released. Convicted adults who are serving their sentence in the Monroe County Correctional Facility and have a release date scheduled within 180 days are eligible to participate in the grant. The goal of the program is to serve 100 offenders including 20 females and 80 males. RochesterWorks! is excited to be chosen as one of the agencies to provide pre-release and post-release services to the re-entry population. Collaboration with RIT and Veterans Outreach Center Provides Training for Unemployed Vets and Others in Manufacturing A new grant-funded program from the New York State Department of Labor provided 20 veterans and dislocated workers with training at RIT toward industry-recognized certifications in 2016. These certifications are crucial qualifications for many electronics assembly and manufacturing jobs. Companies such as IEC Electronics provided tuition reimbursement and career advancement opportunities for those who wish to grow from entry level positions to Quality Engineer or Test Engineer roles. CEMA Certificate Programs • Surface Mount and Through Hole Assembly • Quality and Yellow Belt Principles • IPC 7711/7721 Certification • IPC 610 Certification • Hand Soldering Operator Certification

In just 90 days, YAMTEP bridges basic skill gaps for entry level employment in manufacturing that many individuals receiving benefits from the Department of Human Services face. “Students are taught basic manufacturing skills, attendance, punctuality and soft skills,“ says training founder Tyrone Reaves. “This allows them to enter into the workforce and become valuable and productive employees.” If an individual is not hired by the program’s end, RochesterWorks! sponsors a job fair exclusively for those completing this program. YAMTEP partners with several community agencies and strategic partners to obtain higher success rates. To date, YAMTEP has completed three series of trainings and has successfully graduated more than 25 people from the Work Experience Program. This type of training is very practical for a population requiring marketable skills and a quick turnaround time to employment opportunities for lucrative futures.
  • 18. 18 Leslie Makes 180-degree Change in her Life after Completing RochesterWorks! Programs Leslie began her relationship with RochesterWorks! by participating in the job readiness training for individuals with families. Following that she immediately participated in the Work Experience Program. “The (job readiness) program was very beneficial because it educated everyone in all topics, not just a few,” said Leslie. “RochesterWorks! covered every aspect and issue a single parent like myself could face and it really helped me see the benefit of this type of program. We discussed the importance of having good credit, having a good foundation, activities that we can do with our children as a family unit, and many job readiness topics. This helped me transition to the work experience program because I felt I had all the tools I needed to perform my hours while looking for paid employment. “ To others in similar situations, Leslie advises, “For me personally, I needed to find employment. I have the skills, I have the support, and I am the one that needs to provide the support for my family. These programs are not as bad as people think when you are required to go to them, you are guaranteed to learn many things and RochesterWorks! is a great supporter. RochesterWorks! (staff) go beyond their job titles; this entire office comes together to help and it is like you become a lean, mean, fighting machine. RochesterWorks! helped me do a complete 180-degree change in my life, not because they had to but because they wanted to. I felt the sincerity of each person I worked with; they made me feel as though they wanted to work with me, not because they had to but because they wanted to.” Leslie participated in the Work Experience Program for a month after completing the job readiness training. She worked with a RochesterWorks! Career Services Advisor and the St. Paul Placements team and is happy to say, “I am no longer on public assistance, I am very happy to be off of the system and taking care of my own family.” “RochesterWorks! staff go beyond their job titles; this entire office comes together to help and it is like you become a lean, mean, fighting, machine. RochesterWorks! helped me do a complete 180-degree change in my life, not because they had to but because they wanted to.” — Leslie, RochesterWorks! St. Paul Customer RochesterWorks!

  • 19. Youth Services Program Evolution Brings Success 2016 brought successful changes to our Youth Program. With additional staff we were able to provide a much needed link between our summer programming and the greater RochesterWorks! Career Center. This exposure and staff rapport opened the door for our youth to seek support from RochesterWorks! after their internships concluded. With the creation of a Youth Career Services Coordinator position, RochesterWorks! strengthened its partnerships with Youth Navigators, Rochester City School District, and community agencies, improving support and outcomes for our interns. This has also strengthened connections with businesses in the community, increasing the employer base to 50-plus worksite partners in the public, private and non-profit spheres.

  • 20. RochesterWorks! Annual Report 2016 20 Youth Find Healthy Opportunities at RGH More than 60 youth participated in internships at local hospitals and healthcare facilities in the 2015-16 year, including 30 at a new location at Rochester General Hospital (RGH). These placements are opportunities for career exploration, and fostering a stronger understanding of professional opportunities in the surging local healthcare field. At the conclusion of their experiences, many youth interns have been able to obtain employment at RGH, thanks to positions created specifically for Summer Youth Employment Program interns and interviews offered to all who wish to continue beyond summer. Particularly successful this summer were two refugee students supported by the Catholic Family Center Unaccompanied Refugee Minor Foster Care Program. Through collaborations with their family, caseworkers, interpreters, SYEP staff and RGH, they were connected with hospital opportunities and thrived. Working 40 hours per week, they gained valuable work experience, built their English language skills, and received great feedback from their supervisors. Their story speaks to RochesterWorks! commitment to connecting with outside partnerships to ensure successful outcomes for all youth workers in our community. Youth Services (CONTINUED)

  • 22. I N T E R N S P O T L I G H T Shakur Griffin’s Work Ethic Pays Off It’s obvious that Shakur Griffin can’t wait to get to work. “He gets up at 5 a.m.” Shakur’s mom Rachel Douglass says. “I told him, ‘You don’t need to get up that early, your shift doesn’t start till 8. And he said, ‘Mom I know I want to make sure I get to work on time.’ He enjoys helping people.” Shakur worked at the front desk at RochesterWorks!’ Waring Road Career Center during the summer of 2016. Tall, handsome, quiet, and always dressed for success, he helped customers with their resumes, online applications, and how to navigate work search websites. Customers couldn’t tell the difference between the 18-year-old and older workers around him. His work ethic is already paying off. He accepted a full time job in customer service for Frontier Communications in October 2016. “Real life experience is the best experience. It should not be taken for granted. Being in this program could open so many doors.” Shakur’s advice for the next generation of summer youth interns 22 RochesterWorks! Annual Report 2016 Youth Services (CONTINUED)
