Cindi is a WorkSource Rogue Valley success story! She started on the Jobs Team and became a Jobs Plus Program Assistant with ResCare. From there she advanced to her current position with the Oregon Employment Department. When she decided to move to Southern Oregon, she set a SMART Goal to become a State employee. Then in nine months she achieved that goal. She strongly believes in the STEP Program and the Opportunity Plan, including writing out those SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely) Goals. Cindi has learned that once you write down your goal and see it, you are more likely to move forward and follow through. She is passionate about helping people achieve their employment goals. |
