JVS Boston it's time you guys come up with a new system that will allow employees to get paid every…read moretwo week. We submit our timesheet every two weeks but have to week an extra week for our timesheet to be processed? I believe JVS should consider the bills your employees have. Having a system that will allow employees to get paid every two weeks would allow employees to pay their electrical bill, rent, mortgage and other bills they may need to pay quickly. Also JVS employees work way too hard not get paid while taking their lunch. There have been some changes in JVS Boston but this is something that needs to be addressed. JVS does a great job offering flex funds supports to their client but this service should be also offered to our wonderful staff. As well as financial coaching. I believe if JVS staff members are paid on time, paid better and given opportunities within to grow more people would stay.

Support, information, skills, and knowledge, enables immigrants to fulfill their potential as productive, responsible, and contributing members of the American community. Today, the empowerment of AACA's client population is more essential than ever to the well-being of the Commonwealth: 1 in 7 Bay State residents (907,000) was born in another country As of 2004, immigrants represent 14.28% of all Massachusetts residents! 65% of immigrants have no high school diploma 35% of immigrants lack knowledge of the English language Immigrants presently constitute 17% of the Massachusetts workforce; a significant rise from 9% in 1984...and rising!

They help new immigrant, not just Asians, assimilate to their new home. We provide job training, job placement, ESL and immigration services. My father was one of those recipients. If you are looking to volunteer then AACA is more than deserving of your time and charity as most, if not all, can trace someone in their family who immigrated here for a better life. The people who work there are passionate, dedicated and care about making a difference.

Please READ - THIS GIVES HONEST AND EXPERIENCE IF U ARE THINKING OF GOING HERE…read more HOLY LET ME START! THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT IF U ARE LOW INCOME MONEY LIKE ME AND NEEDED COMMUNITY TO TRANSFER or TRY COLLEGE. This was the worst experience of my life and I respect community College so much. I give credit where credit is due and the only thing I can say is at least they kept most places of the building clean. I started community because I needed to go to school but I originally was gonna transfer and my guidance counselor told me to transfer from community cause it was "easier", personally not my case but it does depend on per person. I want to also say I do have anxiety disorder and speech. And severe ocd. I am diagnosed since I was a child. I do take medications. So I was prepared for anything or so I THOUGHT. the first day of school for me WAS awful which I should've seen coming. I was already anxious kid but when I walked in the staff completely ignored me - but I gave it okay because my parent is a teacher I totally understand the stress it was crowded mildly. I asked a question and finally someone told me the direction turns out he took me to the wrong area - then they asked another person who told me to go to point b and IT WAS THE WRONG AREA. getting lost was okay because I knew college was gonna be like that. After I finally founded my orientation station the guy was so RUDE AND MEAN! I tried making small talk like hellow happy first day and he was like yeah not happy for me. Like OK so sorry to bear that and he asked me to sign up for my personal email thing and I was having trouble and basically when I told him he said what are u deaf and took my computer and did it for me but my lord is was so unwelcoming. So I went home with a pit in my stomach. I gave it THREE weeks before I quit and left. Basically when I picked for classes at the meeting class thing. THEY WERE SO UNHELPFUL - first off these grown as women were in front of me acting all high and mighty like ma'am ur 30 I'm 19 please don't act like u weren't 19 before and didn't know anything. Anytime someone asked a question they would snicker and the staff would see and laugh a little TOO!??! LIKE WHAT. THEN they messed up my schedule I told them my major but they didn't tell me I needed to take a math and English they just gave me a few art classes and told me I'm good. Then for finial aid I had no idea about this fee for and the girl there was like well I did mine last year so I can't really help u. Like SCREE U AND FREAK OFF UR THE FREAKING STAFF WHAT RHE FREAK. then my classes started after I managed to get fixed. And let me tell u OMG! u will be lucky if u find some good professors I only found one out of six classes who was SUCH AN AMAZING GUY. HE REALLY CARED ABOUT WHAT HE TAUGHT. my math professor kept yapping about her alcoholic issues and my graphic professor would just assign us stuff and not really teach. I know people say community College is bad and I just want to preference by saying that is not TRUE. there are so many community colleges that are so caring and actually care about education. This however is NOT IT! they were super unwelcoming, you only get stuff done if u literally dominate them. And honestly I know in my classes the way the interactions was so weird like I don't know if some students aka grown ass people and teachers acting like this is high-school. This one girl didn't have a chromebook and this grown ass teacher was like what u can't afford it? Like sir no she can't so what, u can HELP HER?!?! MAKING HER FEEL BAD FOR WHAT??! I excepted some maturity because highschool was the worst but whew i was clearly wrong. Im now in a art college waiting to transfer to a art uni so it worked out for me. Moral of the story honestly NO PLEASE GO TO A DIFFERENT COMMU ITY COLLEGE LIKE NORTSHORE OR SOMETHING. THIS school is so unprofessional. I hope they change and make it better for people who have to go here becahse everyone deserves an education!​​
