Get Started

Thank you so much for approving my application for training.  I am so blessed to receive this funding and be able to pursue my goal of becoming a massage therapist. It’s always been a huge dream of mine.

I found out what I liked to do and what kind of work I should do.  Without the Golden Sierra office in Auburn offering all the How-to-Sessions and the great staff there, I feel that I would still be looking for work.  Thank you for everything and I wish the best of luck to the Golden Sierra office in Auburn.

I have overcome many life issues & barriers that I perceived were stopping me from completing my goals. The One-stop provides a positive environment for individuals seeking to better their chances at having a career.

After being downsized I found it extremely difficult to get interviews for a new job. Golden Sierra provided me with programs that helped me choose a [career] direction. Golden Sierra provided the funding necessary to follow this dream to its conclusion.

Within 3 weeks of registering with the Connections Center, found a job.  It is a good place to start job hunting.  Thank you guys for all your help!

Thanks to Auburn Connections I obtained a full-time, permanent position (with benefits) in less than seven months of my arrival in California.

Melody and Steve were very helpful and pleasant to work with. I was able to get paid while interning at a commercial real estate firm in Roseville, allowing me to work full-time and still pay my bills. This was a great program that really worked.

Thanks to Golden Sierra for making it possible for us to have hopes and dreams again. You have helped turn hopelessness to hopefulness! I certainly hope that Golden Sierra continues to be there for a long time so that they can continue helping others who have lost their jobs due to the economy.

After the support I received from the center, I was able to secure part-time employment with an organization that is compatible with my own values and goals. Connections helped me find a job that utilized my skills. I now have the confidence and the tools to continue advancing in the workplace.

This program has provided the marketing tool for me to discuss my opportunities with potential employers. It built trust and confidence in my ability and now I have advanced from the hiring position of Bookkeeper to Operations Manager of two companies. I also appreciate the continuing support Golden Sierra has given me since I was hired 18 months ago.
