Monica Jones, a career advisor at Boston Career Link, was given a PIC Achiever Award at the Boston Private Industry Council’s annual meeting recently.
Boston Career Link is the one-stop career center operated by Goodwill and a member of the Private Industry Council, which connects Boston youth and adults to education and employment opportunities.
In recognizing Jones, the Private Industry Council said: “Monica worked with 51 distinct businesses (many with numerous locations and managers) to hold 89 recruiting related activities assisting 220 job seekers find employment. This does not include the significantly higher number of people she gave hope to by providing an opportunity to interview for open positions.”
“Monica is an outstanding employee who focuses every day on helping people find work,” said Maddrey Goode, director of Boston Career Link. “Monica excels in matching job seekers with employers and takes special care to help those with barriers to employment. It is no surprise that PIC has honored her with the Achiever Award.”
For more than a century, Goodwill has provided job training programs and partnered with the business community to generate work opportunities for individuals with barriers to self-sufficiency. The Goodwill Stores in eastern and central Massachusetts offer jobs and on-the-job training as well as quality, low-cost goods to individuals and families looking for value.
