Crane Co. Helps Prepare Family Centers' Clients for the Working World
On Tuesday, April 26, employees at Crane Co. gave five clients enrolled in Family Centers' Reaching Independence Through Employment (RITE) program valuable insight and helped strengthen the skills they need to land a job and succeed in the business world.
As part of the third annual Job Readiness Day, RITE program clients had the opportunity to tour the Crane Co. headquarters in Stamford, met with top executives and participated in resume evaluation, mock interview and job shadowing exercises with more than 50 Crane employees.
Since 2008, Crane Co. has helped the RITE program realize the self-sufficiency goals of low-income individuals and families. Through a grant from "The Crane Fund for Widows and Children", Family Centers was able to bring the RITE program back to Stamford after a five year hiatus. The Job Readiness Day is just another example of how Crane Co. is working with Family Centers to strengthen the community.
In addition to improving participants' job skills, the RITE program also offers regular educational enhancement opportunities, referral services, resume-writing and interview assistance, ESL/literacy classes and bilingual computer training. Since the RITE program began in 1996, it has helped thousands of people throughout Fairfield County find employment, improve their employability and achieve a greater sense of self-sufficiency.
