THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 31, 2020 Page 7 Tailored for Success partners with Encore Boston Harbor Special to Th e Advocate A ccording to the Department of Labor, the unemployment rate in February 2020 was 2.8% and then skyrocketed to 15.1% in April due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Thousands of individuals lost their jobs, became furloughed, or for those already unemployed, the competition increased. These individuals found themselves struggling to find employment in an uncertain labor market while having to develop new skills to compete in the virtual “new normal.” To assist those individuals, Tailored for Success (TFS) launched a virtual career development program – Reimagine Your Career – to assist anyone who has been adversely affected by COVID-19. As part of the Reimagine Your Career program, TFS partnered with Encore Boston Harbor. According to Elizabeth Hart, Founder & Executive Director of Tailored for Success, Inc., “We are grateful for the support of Encore Boston Harbor and their employees who volunteered with us to assist individuals affected by job loss.” Encore Boston Harbor employees facilitated three career development workshops: Developing a Growth Mindset, Developing Your Professional Image and a Hospitality & Tourism Career Panel. The recording of these workshops can be found on the TFS YouTube Channel along with replays of previous TFS workshops. TFS staff and volunteers continue to be available to assist anyone who needs job search assistance or help to advance their career.
