After 24 years in federal government, I’m thrilled to be starting my dream position in state government. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to continue serving people experiencing homelessness and to apply decades of skills and lived expertise to this work. I can’t thank TBCC enough for the invaluable workshops, coaching, Executive Leadership Alliance networking opportunities, and so much more!

The Barrington Career Center has been the best $200 that I have spent during my unemployment. Not only did this give me productive things to do during my days of searching, but The Barrington Career Center gave me a community to work with and to share my updates with. I found that being a Member of the Barrington Career Center to be very productive.

What an amazing experience. The team was incredibly knowledgeable and the resources valuable. The service had an amazing impact on producing a positive attitude for me and I learned a lot about myself and the job search process. I will truly miss working with the team and the ELA group.
