The Project is funded by ACS/Workforce Connection-under the umbrella of Fresno County “Workforce Investment Board. Its main goal is to help unemployed and underemployed Southeast Asian youth, ages 14-21, and adults to obtain employment and to become self-sufficient.  FCNA’s staff members are committed to working collaboratively with ACS/Workforce Connection and other partner agencies to ensure that the Southeast Asian underserved refugees, immigrants, and new Americans have access to employment assistance, while fostering the importance of cultural sensitivity in the service delivery process.
