WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING:
 

Before I visited…I did not have a clear understanding of how to apply for a job, write an effective resume or create a lasting impression during a job interview.  However, after attending an informative workshop series at CICS (LIFT),  I became much more educated on this topic and feel significantly more confident about applying for a job…CICS helped me in various ways and the benefits will last a lifetime.

I am an English speaking senior from East Africa. I have joined CICS’ Seniors Fitness Activities and enjoy exercising with a group of Chinese seniors. Language is not a barrier to making friends, because we all aim to live a healthier lifestyle. Exercise together is both encouraging and fun.
