RW Partners with Palisades Center!

October 16, 2020 by Stephanie Compasso

Press Release: 10/15/2020 from Palisades Center

Palisades Center is partnering with the Rockland Works Career Center to help Center businesses find qualified candidates for their open employment opportunities. Tenants are looking to expand their teams and hire, with permanent and seasonal jobs being added daily. Palisades Center is one of the largest employers in Rockland County, employing 5,000 people with more than 75% of employees living in Rockland County.

The Rockland Works Career Center is Rockland’s one-stop employment and training resource, supporting both employment and training needs of job seekers and the staffing needs of local employers. The Career Center is located at the BOCES Educational Resource Center (BERC) in Nyack, New York. All services are provided free of charge.

“Our tenants have been requesting our help to find qualified employees to fill their open positions,” said Darrin Houseman, General Manager of Palisades Center. “The need is growing now that we are approaching the holiday season. Our partnership with Rockland Works Career Center is a win-win: tenants will be matched with candidates that have the right skills for their open positions and job seekers will be matched with immediate opportunities that meet their interests.”

“Rockland Works is excited to partner with the Palisades Center to contribute to the growth of the Rockland County workforce,” said Stephanie Compasso, Director of Rockland Works Career Center. “Through this timely partnership, we are able to streamline the way employers connect with qualified employees, alleviating the hiring obstacles businesses often face and helping Rockland residents gain employment.”

“This is an invaluable service Palisades Center and Rockland Works Career Center are offering for the tenants,” said Caryn Salomon, Owner of Ily. “Our fashion boutique has been looking for a salesperson for the past several months. The process of trying to find qualified candidates on our own is extremely time consuming while trying to run a business at the same time. This partnership will take that burden away. We are looking forward to getting started!”

“The Palisades Center is a key part of our local economy and it is heartening to see businesses expanding their workforces,” said County Executive Ed Day. “I encourage Rockland residents to check out the list of openings and apply for those that are of interest.”

Clarkstown Supervisor George Hoehmann said, “I am delighted the Palisades Center has coordinated with the Rockland Works Career Center to assist our community in their efforts at returning to the workforce. With positions available for all types of experience, this is a great opportunity for residents seeking employment.”

There are positions for people with all types of experience, education, and skill levels – from entry-level roles to management positions. Full and part-time available jobs include Managers, Sales Associates, Servers and more. For a full list of openings, visit www.rocklandworks.org.
