Client Testimonials

Beaumont-Cherry Valley Recreation & Park District

"The Beaumont-Cherry Valley Recreation and Park District was very happy to participate in the Hire District 5 program. We hired three new employees at the end of last year and as a result, the District has already received $2,000 and is looking forward to an additional $1,000 when our next employee is eligible. Two of the participants were eligible to receive a personal $500 stipend and were very happy to receive a free 'bonus' because they were qualifying seniors. They are some of our best employees and we are fortunate to learn from their experience so it is very nice that we were able to reward them through this program with the County. The process was very easy and straightforward and everyone on the Workforce Development team has been great to work with. We are very thankful for the opportunities provided through the Hire District 5 program and if you aren't taking advantage of this program yet, you are certainly missing out!" -Deidre Chatigny

Marketplace Physical Therapy, APC

"We're deeply grateful to the County of Riverside for their invaluable assistance in helping us navigate the various programs and resources available to our business. As the team behind Marketplace Physical Therapy, operating across multiple clinics in the Inland Empire, finding and nurturing talent is key to our success. Our recent expansion in Beaumont has seen us welcome new team members from the 5th District, thanks to the support and information provided by Mario and his colleagues at the County.

Mario has been instrumental in keeping us informed about initiatives like the Hire 5th District program, which not only offers financial support for hiring local talent but also demonstrates the county's commitment to its residents. With Mario's guidance, we've been able to access these resources smoothly, and his team's assistance has been invaluable in ensuring our new hires navigate the process seamlessly.

The additional support we've received has allowed us to invest more in our staff, offering competitive wages and maintaining the quality of our services to the community. We truly appreciate the County of Riverside's ongoing support, and we encourage other business owners to take advantage of the valuable resources and insights available through their webinars." -Jaymee Valencia

Greenway Solid Waste & Recycling, Inc.

"My business was connected with the Hire District 5 Program just as we opened a new branch in Riverside County. We were looking for new ways to grow our business and team while also contributing to the local economy. The team at the Riverside Workforce Development was incredibly helpful. encouraging, and informative throughout the program. They helped us navigate the funding process and provided us with invaluable resources to grow our business. With the funding, we plan to invest in equipment to further develop our demolition services and expand our service area. I highly recommend the Hire District 5 Program to other small businesses looking for funding and resources to grow professionally." -Charles Elias
