Hi Dean, Hope all is well..
I wanted to follow up with you on a P.O.W.E.R. Collaboraitve Network (PCN) meeting that I attended at Compton College, I believe earlier this year. I recall being briefed from a representative at Ralphs on career pathways that they have established with the college.
NCLR is currently managing two large grants from DOL and Walmart for the exact same purpose: to create a career pathway in a particular industry utilizing community colleges as the vehicle for advancement. I am interested in speaking with that representative and seeing if we might be able to incorporate their model into our national strategy for these grants.
If you remember who she was I would greatly appreciate it. I do have the notes from that meeting but unfortunately they are at my previous job.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Luis,
I believe the contact info you are inquiring about is for Ms. Rhonda Palacios, Education Coordinator, Business and Workforce Development, Ralph’s Grocery. She spoke at the September 2009 P.O.W.E.R. Collaborative Network meeting.
Also, the Dec. ’09 POWER Collaborative Network meeting had Robert De Santiago, Human Resources Manager for Vons/Safeway presented their hiring process. His contact info is, (626) 821-3849, and email Robert.DeSantiago@safeway.com. Accompanying him at the meeting was Lisa Stritof, District Employment Representative for Vons/Safeway. Her contact info is, (951) 533-6598, and email Lisa.Stritof@safeway.com.
As soon as I find out the Ralph’s info I will send it to you post haste.
Thanks,

Just wanted to say thank you for bringing the Power Collaborative meeting to our office. Our new mgmt rediscovered how important your organization is to us and my understanding is that we are going to have staff attending regularly on a rotating basis. I am grateful for the wealth of information at our last meeting, sorry I had to cut out early but I was scheduled for the counter from 12pm-1pm and didn’t get a chance to network much. That’s OK, there’s always next month.

Colleagues:
The P.O.W.E.R Collaborative Network is an alliance of over 1,000 professional from California state, county and municipal agencies and a number of non-profit employment services organizations who work collaboratively to provide training, development and employment referral services. I was invited to share federal opportunities during a meeting last October where I spoke to DOT Mission Critical Opportunities and how to access and use USAJOBS.com.
I am sharing this communication and encouraging you to contact the organization to explore how your office might be able to use the network to reach viable candidates for internships and permanent placements. Dean Jones is the chair and can be reached at (310) 637-7248 or POWERSOLA@aol.com.
I was very impressed with this state-wide collaborative network that is highly results driven

Hi Jerome,
You may have to discuss this with your boss J… but I think the P.O.W.E.R. Collaborative Network would be a great networking opportunity for you. I am no longer able to go to it, but it is a time when Job Developers from all over the community come together to discuss various issues, and it is always a great place to pick up job leads… and they usually have food. So, if Silvia thinks it’s okay, I think this would be a great monthly opportunity for you.

Dear P.O.W.E.R. Collaborative Network Members:
It has been four weeks on my new position, and it feels good! As I reflect on just how I was able to win such a positive job, it all points to the incredible relationship with the P.O.W.E.R. Collaborative Network.
I have always enjoyed working, which is why it blows me away how misfortune fell upon the companies where I had the pleasure of working before this one.Too often, I found myself as the last employee standing.In contrast, the P.O.W.E.R. Collaborative heard about my situation and through the networking of its members referred me to this opportunity.
Helping others find their respective job is what I do best, and the P.O.W.E.R. Collaborative did the same for me. What is even more interesting was how the P.O.W.E.R. Collaborative Network identified and provided two potential positions, where the right one lined up just perfectly.In addition, the P.O.W.E.R. Collaborative made the interview process very favorable because it set me apart from the other candidates.
The P.O.W.E.R. Collaborative acceptance is high with credibility and integrity by the interviewers as a sound community resource, thereby making it easy to discuss the job expectations. Simply put, the P.O.W.E.R. Collaborative referral placed me onto solid footing with the interviewers. This is why I am so compelled to write and formally express my appreciation for the fine work of the P.O.W.E.R. Collaborative Network. Thank you for helping me to secure such a great position.
My family and I are forever grateful.I wish the P.O.W.E.R. Collaborative Network all the best, as you are able to continue serving as a fine business and workforce resource. Please do not hesitate to call me anytime should you need any volunteer support in the future.
In high spirits of gratitude,

Dear P.O.W.E.R. Collaborative Network:
I would like to take this opportunity to extend my gratitude and sincere appreciation for your work and the countless opportunities you provide for industry professionals. Because of the P.O.W.E.R. Collaborative Network and the opportunities for networking it provides, I was able to secure employment following January’s meeting. I have just received and accepted an offer for the position of Director of Admissions for American Institute of Health Sciences in Long Beach.
Allow me to share a personal story. Due to personal and extenuating circumstances over the last months, my drive and professional growth had been almost non-existent. The Monday of that meeting, as I lay in bed not having the motivation or the desire to devote any attention to professional opportunities and development, I debated on attending the meeting, and after much hesitation, finally decided to attend. This by the way explains why I was late and walked in the middle of the speaker, which is highly unlikely and unbecoming of me!
While at the meeting, I made some valuable contacts that would eventually lead to an employment opportunity. Therefore, if I had one piece of advice for members of the P.O.W.E.R. Collaborative it would certainly be not to EVER MISS A MEETING, because you just never know where it might lead you!
Once again, thank you very much for the work that you do and the environment you work so hard to create for service and industry professionals.
Best Regards,
Carla Cortez

Thank you for the responses to the job lead that I sent out yesterday. Thanks to the Collaborative, I found a great candidate for that position. He has an interview on Tuesday at 11:00.
Thank you for all your help and support. Helping people find employment is such a great feeling!!

Dear Mr. Jones:
I recently attended the P.O.W.E.R. Collaborative Network meeting at the LA World Airports’ Flight Path Museum, and it was a very motivating and enlightening experience. It was a pleasure to see so many educational options, job training resources, and job placement opportunities available to those in need in the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area.
I attended the meeting as the new GAIN/CalWORKSs Advisor from the Metropolitan Skills Center. During this next year, I look forward to building a meaningful and productive relationship with your organization to increase my ability to serve the school’s student population and assist the members of the P.O.W.E.R. Collaborative Network in their efforts to provide career development resources and opportunities.
I would greatly appreciate you adding me to your mailing list. I can be reached at (213) 386-7269, ext. 121. Thank you again for a very positive and inspiring experience, and I look forward to seeing you again at the next meeting.
Sincerely,
Sharon M. Williams
GAIN/CalWORKS Advisor
