On March 13, 2012, the Jericho Training Center had the honor of hosting Dr. William Spriggs, Assistant Secretary for Policy at the Department of Labor. He attended a Collaborative Meeting at Jericho with Alicia Villarreal, Regional Representative for Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis. Dr. Spriggs and Ms. Villarreal were greeted by a full house at Jericho with representatives from several of our key partners, including the Los Angeles County Probation and Sheriff’s Departments, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Federal Bureau of Prisons, Los Angeles Police Department, and Department of Rehabilitation.
The agenda focused upon providing Dr. Spriggs with an overview of the Jericho Training Center and program offerings. The full complement of SHIELDS for Families and Jericho staff, as well as supportive referral, curriculum, and employment providers (including Marvin Gardens, B.T.T.S., and ThreeCohens Construction) were given the opportunity to convey to Dr. Spriggs their roles in facilitating and ensuring the delivery of comprehensive, quality services to Jericho clients. Further, Jericho was able to receive Dr. Spriggs’ feedback on ways to facilitate and advance linkages, as available through federal resources. The meeting was closed with compelling testimonies from Jericho clients, both past and present.
SHIELDS for Families and the Jericho Training Center would like to sincerely thank all who attended this meeting and contributed to its success. A special thank you to Dr. Spriggs for taking the time to see in-person how Jericho is utilizing the Generation 4 – Reintegration of Ex-Offenders Grant to effectively meet clients’ needs.
