About us

Career Resources, Inc. was founded in 1995 when it spun off from the region’s Workforce Investment Board in order to better provide direct services. CRI has grown into a stable, respected agency with more than 80 employees, programs operating throughout Connecticut, and a history of clean audits. CRI was recently chosen by the state of Connecticut’s Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) to train all DMHAS staff and providers to better prepare clients for employment. It is the only non-profit in the state focusing exclusively on workforce development from the perspective of the disadvantaged clients, in need of both basic education as well as the attitudinal readiness provided by STRIVE, and of employers. CRI maintains a deep knowledge of employer needs and is a trusted and frequent partner of local and regional Chambers of Commerce, as well as the state’s largest business association, CBIA, and numerous non-profit agencies and advocate partners. Career Resources’ mission is to “prepare workers for life” – to provide the needed support and skills training to set people on the path not merely to get a job, but to continued education and a viable career with a sustaining living wage.

    Lived Experience Social Justice Advocate | Care Coordinator | Bridging the Gap | “Be yourself and be unafraid.”

    Grateful & Empowered 💕✨ Last Friday, I had the incredible honor of being recognized as one of Class of 2024's 100 Women of Color. While the journey to the stage wasn’t without its challenges & unexpected negativity from people I had hoped would support me, I carried that with me as fuel - as I have done before. I turned it into strength, reminding myself that this moment was earned. Truthfully, at first I questioned if I was deserving of such an honor. But through the powerful words of past 100 Women of Color alums and the performances of the night, I was reminded of my worth. I have overcome struggles that nearly claimed my life, and every step I take is with authenticity and love. Everything I do is from the heart, knowing that if I can help one person turn their life around, or even inspire someone to look forward to tomorrow, then I’ve done something right. I want to thank my wonderful workplace, Career Resources, for the beautiful ad and kind words in the program booklet, and for empowering me through your leadership! To my family and best friend who stood by me that evening, and to those who sent love from afar - your support means the world to me. And to Mr. June Archer - thank you for selecting this outstanding group of women and putting together such an incredible evening for us to celebrate together! With my most sincere gratitude, thank you.🙏 I will continue to strive to make the world a better place, spreading goodness and kindness—hoping that many of you will receive. #100womenofcolor #100WOC #The100 #gratefulthankfulblessed #overcoming #CommunityLeadership #authenticity #empowerment #careerresources #JuneArcher #sisterhood #support #resilience #strength #Connecticut #Massachusetts #RhodeIsland Career Resources, Inc.
