On Saturday (9/28/19) from 12-4 PM we opened our doors to the Houston Community in celebration of our first year at our new Workforce Opportunity Center! Our “AnniverSERy” event combined family fun with opportunity as we threw a community event at the front of our center and hosted a job fair in the back.
Attendees were able to navigate through tables of essential resources available throughout Houston, take their kids to the Kid Zone for fun crafts, head over to the Challenge Zone to try to beat one of our obstacles for a gift card, and go out to the patio to enjoy music by West End DJs, and grab a treat from La Chamba Cafe or The Lunch Box.
We also had a total of 22 employers from various industries including, but not limited to, Memco, United States Census 2020, VIP Staffing, Tyson Foods, Metro, Avance, Tech Trans International, The Houston LaunchPad, and many more.
Overall, we hosted over 99 adults and 30 children at our event alongside our 36 SER staff members and their 25 family and friends. We are so thankful to all of the staff members that made this happen, the organizations that helped make this possible, and to everyone in our community that helped celebrate with us.
