Life After The Layoff
Powered by Workforce Development, County of San Mateo

PeninsulaWorks boasts many success stories.  Our most recent Life After the Layoff campaign attracted over 200 job seekers and laid off workers that were fast tracked through an orientation process to get back to work quickly. Over 40 job seekers received benefits by enrolling in training, while others opted to take advantage of job search assistance, workshops, and free membership to the PeninsulaWorks Career Centers.

Unique Garment Manufacturing of Daly City, who employed 105 workers and was forced to close their facility.  Company executives expressed their concern about the fate of their employees. The PeninsulaWorks Team was invited on-site during business hours to conduct informational sessions to the affected workers, many of whom had language barriers.  Options and assistance packages were provided to the employees.  The company’s executive team summed up their appreciation by saying, "Yes. I would partner with PeninsulaWorks because you have helped my workers find new jobs."
