A workforce development agency
ARI Job Center is a non-profit community based organization established in 1980 dedicated to providing multiple social services needed in our community, empowering everyone we serve to become a vital part of our changing, diverse society.
At ARI Job Center , our goal is to be the catalyst that connects people to jobs and resources that would lead them to self-sufficiency. To achieve this goal, we have designed programs that provide a wide range of benefits to the community. From pre-employment skills training to job placement services, from English-as-a-Second Language to computer literacy, from your first job in the United States to a career change due to the economic downturn, we are sure that we have a program to meet your needs. Our programs are developed, implemented and staffed by individuals who are culturally and linguistically skilled to ensure participation from diverse communities.
With a focus on assisting job seekers throughout the Sacramento Region at all points along the employment continuum, Asian Resources provides one-on-one case management to guide our diverse clientele in their search for employment. Job seekers may also elect to serve themselves with the agency's job listings, computer resources, fax machines and phone lines to connect themselves with area employers. For those not yet ready for employment, our staff will provide vocational training, English-as-a-Second Language classes, referrals to child care programs, etc.
Our community services are designed to be flexible and responsive to the changing needs of our clients and reflect the economic and political climate of the region. Because many clients are recent immigrants, Asian Resources focuses on cultural brokering to facilitate this cultural and psychological transition. Services may include translation for clients enrolled in our programs; resources and referrals; assistance with completing forms/applications for various programs such as Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), housing, health care, legal services, etc.
