An important honor for Kansas City's former mayor and current Congressman amid the ongoing Great Recession . . .
CONGRESSMAN CLEAVER HONORED FOR JOBS AND TRAINING
Kansas City – Leaders from the Metropolitan Community College, area businesses and social organizations thanked Missouri Fifth District Congressman Emanuel Cleaver, II, today for his support in helping the unemployed and underemployed find work.
“This is what it is all about,” said U.S. Representative Congressman Cleaver. “Missouri’s Fifth District is working together to put real people back to work. All of the numbers showing the success of this program are astounding. But let us also remember, behind each number, is a face. And this is helping people improve their lives and the futures of their families.”
The event marked a celebration for the successful completion of the Sustainability Center project. That project is a job training and social services initiative. Congressman Cleaver was critical in securing funding for that program.
Several of those who have completed the program and are now employed, expressed personal appreciation for Congressman Cleaver’s interest and fight to improve their situations. One man remarked, “You gave me an opportunity to make more of my life and I will always thank you for that.”
Through the Sustainability Center project, more than 300 area residents received services that ranged from job certification and placement to tutoring and social services. MCC continues to assess all of the numbers, but reports a job placement rate of close to 70% at this point in the process.
The project was developed through various partnerships, including the one between MCC, the Green Impact Zone and the Full Employment Council. Other organizations involved include MARC, Green Works, Mattie Rhodes Center and Prep-KC. Local employers were also closely consulted and advised on job training needs. Those businesses include Samuel U. Rodgers Health Center, children’s Mercy Hospitals and Clinics, UPS, Harvesters, and Apria Healthcare.

ReplyDeleteWhat with jobs like at his car wash?
ReplyDeleteSee, this really posse me off! FEC is ruin by a bunch of money grubbing knee-grows who don't give a damn about creating sustainable incomes for anyone but themselves! Ask Clyde McQueen exactly how many of those jobs that he's lying about last more than six months?
ReplyDeleteClyde is a lying son of a bitch and he needs to be dealt with! As long a he can throw $3MM at a problem that can't possibly be solved for that amount of money, or any amount for that matter, AND bring in his buddies and throw them a bone of the government funds he's spending then everyone thinks he did something!
Everybody on those programs is or will be unemployedwithin the year and back on the unemployment roll, if they ever came off.
Please, spare me this bullshit about those wasted programs!
Privatize FEC and put those lazy, incompetent sons of bitches out so that sometime who gives a fuck can perhaps try to do some good!
A god damned certificate won't do shit for the person who got it if there are no jobs. Even people in the industry......fuck it. Keep giving Clyde your money. Keep going to FEC. You'll see!
Cleaver needs to wake up!
Has he paid back his loan yet?
ReplyDeletePAY YOUR BILLS NIGGABOY!!!!
