Oscar lands a full-time job


Oscar graduated from the Transitional Employee Baler position and Champion Workforce back in January. Since he started working at SVdP, he worked hard to move out of a shelter, into transitional housing to where he is now--his own apartment. This is a milestone for Oscar who after hard months of searching for employment, landed a full-time job as a laundry aide. His boss says he is a dedicated, hard working employee who brings a positive attitude each day.
