Next Event: Our 4th ANNUAL SOCIAL EVENING (WINE TASTING) on April 21st at Quality Inn, New Port Richey, FL Please contact us for reservations.
Start small, offer services to the community and local business then remain true to your mission; that’s the Connections Job Development Program. Twenty years later we remain on course.
Connections is launching its twentieth anniversary offering you the opportunity to learn the latest regulations for Americans with Disabilities Act. We have retained expert, Jack Humburg, Director of Housing Development & ADA Services, to conduct a training session on the Department of Justice’s new ADA rules and regulations, Wednesday, January 18 from 8:00 to 10:30 am at the Quality Inn on 19N in New Port Richey. A $20 donation is requested. A full breakfast will be served.
Q: Why would I or someone from my organization attend this ADA training?
A: To provide you with information to comply with new regulations to avoid costly lost time and litigation.
Q: How can Connections help me?
A: In addition to this training, our small staff trains job-seekers in various computer programs, assists them in preparing resumes reflecting skills and achievements and offers tips on interviewing and how to keep a job. We seek to match your job needs with qualified candidates for you to interview.
Q: Who supports Connections? Is it a 501. (c) 3?
A: Connections is a registered not-for-profit organization. Since 1992, we have received contributions from individuals, businesses, churches, grants and help from the United Way of Pasco County. All proceeds from our Thrift Shoppe in Davis Plaza on 19N support our agency.
In 1992, Sister Joan Foley, a Medical Mission Sister, sought to serve the homeless and unemployed by connecting them with area businesses seeking qualified employees. Her first office operated from the trunk of a car before she moved to an old church on Washington Street in New Port Richey. Today, the program operates in a Main Street home made available through a grant in 2000 from the Pasco County Board of Commissioners.
Please join us on January 18. There will be time to meet other business leaders and an opportunity for Mr. Humburg to answer your questions. Call 727-849-4724 for reservations or e-mail me at skrautner@connectionsjobdevelopment.org.
