It's my understanding that JVS only helps people under 50 find jobs. (They even have a flyer advertising that they help people up to 49 years old.) I'm not sure what they expect workers between 50 and 61 to do, as last time I checked, even "early" retirement age is 62. Apparently, the people running this parasitic organization think that everyone over 50 has devised a free public and private funded "non-profit" racket like theirs.

JVS is an excellent place for immigrants/refugees and new folks to the USA to find a career and programs like CNA, Pharmacy Tech , etc. The programs they give are not free; they take money from the government ( around $10.000 thousand for each person) and donations from rich people to help immigrants. The amusing thing is even though the place is designed for immigrants they do not hire immigrants or black people ( only 4 -5 black people for entire JVS) 90% people who work there are WHITE. Going to JVS you will see large pictures of Muslim women at the walls, and they have even prayer room for Muslim people to pray, but they accept only one Muslim person in each program, you can check that from their Facebook Page.
Just not suitable for adults, as my mom would say. Someone help me figure out how to be normal and to tell the truth. I have been cooking gourmet pasta since I was 9 years old in 1985 and gourmet vegetarian soup since 1986. I'm not entirely stupid because I wasted time on one of your workshops and forgot the rules on what size font to put my resume in or how horrible it is to write references upon request. Save the money on hiring rude people there and just put up the dumb resume rules on your website, you people don't seem to really want to help anyone really but you've got a job. I happened to notice here that most job seekers arriving here at JVS have been in the workforce for 10+ years. I used to go to the previous location near Chinatown which was much more low key. This facility does not help people with questions. The job placement person I went to see during open hours was rude about locating local job training referring me to their website with mostly all costly job placement training programs. I have been through several job training programs and don't really want to go through yet another job training program unless it is for example IT or routing. Many of us have job applicant anxiety. folks out of high school/college ought to leave the area. Everyone here I talk to is from Boston and never been to another state even. Like that is called attachment disorder.
The free Pharmacy Technician program is deceptively advertised. JVS is merely interviewing repetitively to no avail. After being asked aggressively a number of personal questions I received criticism and silence in return. The Pharmacy Technician start date came and silence. The people that I encountered at JVS were nosey and merely take advantage of hard up people by Zoom asking repetitive personal questions by different people. Examples of nasty though nosey JVS people are Sophie, Diana and their aggressive supervisor. JVS is a waste of time merely incompetent Quacks
Great services. They really help. They order so many classes and courses want month for free. They hello refugees. They hello with job training. Just about anything u need they can help.
