This last Fall, SEMCA presented the keys to the new transport vans to its contractors. Pictured above (left to right) are, SEMCA Executive Director John B. O’Reilly Jr., Ken Colpaert (MCETD), Paul Eggelbrecht (Ross Learning, Inc.), Raja Noureddine (Arab-American and Chaldean Council (ACC).
The vans were detailed by Jiffy Signs of Dearborn Heights. They now have the SEMCA 1-888-515-JOBS number on their sides to inform more people of our programs. One side focuses on the job seeker and the other side targets the employer.
Our vans not only transport our customers, they also deliver our message.
Transportation services are customized to meet each participant’s needs. Customers may be transported to work, to child care providers for their children, to interviews, training and pre-employment physicals/drug screening.
“A major portion of our van service is utilized to transport customers to critical Job Readiness and Job Club activities offered at our site.” said Mrs. Lewis. The vans are also available to shuttle customers to and from special events such as job fairs. This program has made a major impact of the lives of our clients. It has already helped many people to achieve career goals, and will continue to impact the SEMCA workforce region.
