Elizondo said of the work experience contracts, “Say a high school graduate had the opportunity to work for someone for the first time - they were able to learn how to fill out an application, a resume, they were able to learn how to use the job market on the computer and research employers and are ready to go to an interview.
"They can say, I worked under CSET, however I learned how to run a cash register, customer service skills, telephone. It gives them the opportunity to learn something they’ve never done before.”
That very experience helped Tapia down the road when a job opened in the parks and recreation department. She was hired on as recreation leader and now works as an events coordinator.
Tapia explained, “Once I got the experience and they showed me that knowledge to be ready for interviews, they showed me the courage for whatever job it is. They made me feel better about myself that I have qualities that I’m good at. If you get turned down, keep moving forward and don’t let it slow you down. It made me confident.”

Now, as an events coordinator, Tapia often oversees new employees working on CSET work experience contracts.
Said Tapia, “We get them during summer, usually. We get around two helpers each summer and I see them experience what I experienced. They help out with summer program, Summer Night Lights - they get experience with the kids and the community.”
The CSET staff hopes to come to the aid of many others like Tapia on March 8.
Miguel Castaneda, CSET Senior Program Specialist, said, “They don’t have an idea of what they are capable of doing or what they want to do. We break it down to them in workshops and we try to place them with an employer that catches their interest that they are interested in."
The impact of the program becomes a benefit to the community at large, explained CSET Public Relations Coordinator Melissa Withnell: “It directly benefits the youth, it directly benefits the employer and indirectly benefits the entire community because now
you have youth that are gaining real world skills ... They get support from our amazing staff and then they get connected with these employers that are willing to help.”
Those who attend the recruitment event that do not qualify can also be referred to one of CSET’s many other assistance programs. CSET’s four departments include energy assistance programs, workforce development, community initiative and the Sequoia Community Corps.
CSET’s Youth at Work Program is funded by the Tulare County Workforce Investment Board. In all, the efforts served approximately 104 local youth last year.
Elizondo, who went through one of CSET’s programs for adults before becoming a CSET employee herself, said, “I’ve grown up in Dinuba ... That’s my passion is to help the young people there and see them grow. Speaking with some of the employers in the area, they are more than willing to be a part of CSET and help out because it’s their way of giving back. Even if they can’t hire them, they are more than willing to give them
that work experience.”
CSET’s Maria E. Guerrero
added, “I love it, it’s very rewarding ... We want to be able to serve as many youth as possible in this area so they can get the benefit of it.
Of the CSET staff, Tapia concluded, “For anyone that gets involved, they can expect strong communication with CSET, strong support, they help you with resumes, help you with what to wear. If you don’t have experience that can be nerve wracking. They are a support system for anything you need and always there for a follow up ... They kind of root for you the whole way until you set in ... Once you get that experience, it’s non-stop. They are there through the whole path.”
The Cutler-Orosi CSET office is located at 12691 Avenue 408 in Cutler. The building is shared with the local Senior Center, so walk-ins are encouraged between 1:30 to 5 p.m. on weekdays. For calls and appointments, contact 528-1095 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. Elizondo is also located at Employment Connection in Dinuba on Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
