CareerSource Capital Region: A Beacon of Support for The Seasoned Relaxation Center
At CareerSource Capital Region (CSCR), we take pride in the success stories of our clients. One such story is that of The Seasoned Relaxation Center, owned and operated by Treveka Smith. Their story is a testament to the power of community support, resilience, and the unwavering assistance provided by our team members.
Supporting The Seasoned Relaxation Center has been a journey rooted in collaboration, guidance, and empowerment, helping a new business owner navigate the complexities of building and growing a private care center. When the founder of The Seasoned Relaxation Center initially reached out to us, they were in the early stages of development, seeking advice on hiring practices and workforce development. They connected with Khari Harrison, one of our dedicated business and employer specialists, who guided them through critical steps such as conducting interviews, finding potential employees, and utilizing our online resources to stay updated on job openings. At that time, the center didn’t even have a physical space for interviews, but we were able to help set a strong foundation to move forward.
As the business grew, so did the challenges. When they needed additional employees for their second building, they returned to us for more support. This time, we introduced them to Cat Spence, another valuable member of our team, who not only aided with finding employees but also offered insights into various training and funding options. Cat's experience and motivation helped the business owner feel more confident about bringing in and training staff. Her recommendations connected the business with other resources, ensuring they could stay strong and continue growing. What truly stands out in this journey is the personal connection we were able to build. Both Khari and Cat offered not just professional advice but genuine encouragement, helping the business owner through moments of financial exhaustion and uncertainty. They introduced programs like the WEX grant and other funding options that could be utilized when the time was right, reassuring the owner that they weren’t alone in their business venture.
Helping The Seasoned Relaxation Center has been more than just connecting them with job postings and grants. It’s been about listening to their needs, understanding the challenges of a new business, and providing continuous support as they navigate their entrepreneurial path. We’re proud to have played a part in their success, offering a safety net of resources, encouragement, and a network that’s dedicated to seeing them thrive.
CareerSource Capital Region has been a steadfast partner in The Seasoned Relaxation Center's business development, providing staffing opportunities, training accessibility, business resources, and genuine care for her mission and business goals.
"The staff is always welcoming, attentive and try their best to give me the most efficient assistance," says Treveka.
How to Recruit Top Talent While Making a Difference
Our relationship didn’t stop there. A key part of the business’s growth story involved a unique connection made through our services.
Letora Hicks came to CSCR seeking employment and hoped to meet with our team and take advantage of our job search solutions. One of our career advisors worked with Letora one-on-one to review her skills and interests and show her jobs available in the area that matched accordingly.
While searching together, one employer in particular stuck out. Ms. Hicks, an individual familiar with the care center through personal caregiving, saw a job posting for The Seasoned Relaxation Center and immediately wanted to work for the business.
"I’m thrilled to say I’m starting my new journey with The Seasoned Relaxation Center as part of the team. I’m excited for the new ideas, discoveries, and the joy of working with clients from all backgrounds. I can't wait to see what's ahead," exclaimed Ms. Hicks.
This connection exemplified how CSCR helps businesses find employees but also helps foster relationships that benefit both employers and career seekers.
