“CEO works with companies and municipalities to form transitional work crews that do outdoor and indoor maintenance and cleaning. They work up to four days a week and get paid daily. CEO has partnered with the city of Rochester for 11 years.
‘One thing that we know for sure is that there a lot of gaps for employment and we have a workforce that is prepared to do the job,’ said Jarmani Dozier, director of CEO Rochester. ‘The city has been an amazing partner and has gone so far as to offer jobs where participants earn money every single day but open up an employment pipeline so they can work for the city to help themselves, their families and our community. Just as we give them a second chance, we hope that more employers will do the same.’
Anthony White took a different path to CEO. He was in and out of family court for child custody hearings. He said working with CEO made it possible to earn a living while juggling court dates. He’s now a CEO site supervisor.
‘That was the universe working, so it worked perfectly and works to my nature. I love helping people,’ said White. ‘That’s how I’ve become happy.’
White shared that he was able to get residential custody of his children and that he will always be grateful for CEO.
