JVS’ Strictly Business series showcases the partnerships between JVS and the Los Angeles area business community. Each year, hundreds of large corporations, small businesses and non-profit organizations save valuable time and money by using JVS’ services to find the best qualified employees. In fact, each year JVS helps employers fill more than 1,000 positions. Because JVS provides award-winning training and career counseling to its clients, employers who hire JVS clients gain employes who are highly capable, motivated, reliable and eager to learn and succeed.
At this event, JVS will honor four Employees of the Year who have built, enhanced or changed their careers with the assistance of JVS. We will also honor a Corporate Citizen of the Year, Gap Inc., which hired 75 JVS clients in 1999.
