ewish Vocational Ser-
vice is enjoying a 50
percent job placement
rate through its new
program aimed at securing
employment for laid-off white
collar professionals.
Since its inception in Sep-
tember, JVS's Corporate Op-
portunities Program has
helped 26 of 60 participants
secure jobs, said Roger Good-
enough, JVS job placement
supervisor.
Of those, 80 percent of the
jobs acquired were for full-
time positions. The average
time for job placement is six
weeks, Mr. Goodenough said.
"There is a lot of optimism
out there," Mr. Goodenough
said. "We are getting re-
sponses, and we are finding
it is time to fuel our pipeline
with business contacts."
Mr. Goodenough attribut-
es some of the program's ear-
ly success to the job market,
which, he said, may be "start-
ing to break."
"Our applicants are getting
more interviews," Mr. Good-
enough said. "We are real op-
timistic."
Meanwhile, JVS has hired
motivational speaking spe-
cialist Bill Marsden to direct
the program, replacing Bill
Atkinson, who left late last
month to pursue other op-
portunities.
Job counselors are going
door to door, making cold
calls and providing guidance
for those enrolled in the free
program to help identify
available jobs in the above

meetings take place every
Tuesday evening and Thurs-
day afternoon. The program,
launched in response to the
growing needs created by the
ongoing recession, is funded
through a $35,000 grant from
the United Jewish Founda-
tion.
For a sliding fee, JVS al-
ways provided career place-
ment services for job seekers.
Until this new program, how-
ever, emphasis was not
placed on the white collar and
middle management profes-
sional.
Of those participating in
the program, 77 percent are
male; 23 percent are female.
Annual salary ranges for 27
percent were listed between
$30,000 and $39,000; 72 per-
cent previously earned be-
tween $40,000 and $59,000;
and 1 percent earned above
$60,000.
The largest number of lay-
offs, 33 percent, came in the
communications, sales and
marketing professions. Oth-
er professions targeted were
engineering, 10 percent; ed-
ucation and human services,
13 percent; health and com-
puter sciences, 8 percent;
business management and
self-employed, 16 percent;
banking and finance, 18 per-
cent; law, 17 percent.
Half of those surveyed held
bachelor's degrees, and 39
percent earned master's de-
grees. ❑
