Rollin' with Rep. Nolan - OIC
On this week's Rollin' with Rep. Nolan, I was joined by Nekeisha Grant, executive director, Phyllis Russell, healthcare training director, and students from the Opportunities Industrialization Center (OIC) of New London.
OIC is a national organization with five locations in Connecticut that provides vocational training services and job placement assistance to adults from low-income communities to help place them back into the workforce.
I loved hearing directly from the students of this program about the value they find in the work they do, and I can't wait to see what their bright futures have in store for them. Thanks again to Nekeisha, Phyllis, and the OIC students for chatting with me!

United Way of Southeastern CT Financial Wellness and Empowerment Grant
A very special congratulations for the United Way of Southeastern Connecticut for receiving a $50,000 grant for their Path to Financial Wellness program. The organization was one of three programs chosen by Governor Lamont to receive a state grant supporting financial wellness and empowerment programs.
The program's mission is to provide an opportunity for BIPOC and female-led households to engage in financial literacy education and to provide an opportunity for those individuals to make empowered financial decisions. The grant funding allows the organization to provide their program to the Greater New London area.
Congratulations again! |
