Congratulations Eva Woods!

Congratulations to Eva Woods, SNAP Career Manager at our CareerSource Gulf Coast Job Center. Eva, a Royal American Management employee, was named one of 24 winners of the Workforce Professional Champion Award Friday November 3rd at a statewide workforce summit.

Eva Woods has experience working with Workforce Programs for over 15 years and she is committed making a difference in other’s lives every day. Eva started her career in 1999 as a Receptionist working with the WIA & Welfare Transition Program which led to other opportunities, such as an Intake Specialist & Career Manager for the Youth Employment Service Program (Y.E.S.), then a Welfare Transition Operations Assistant, and during the last 3 years Eva has been a Career Manager with the SNAP Employment and Training Program. In addition to offering the SNAP employment and training opportunities, our region was the first to receive the (ERS) Employment Retention Pilot Program. Eva was instrumental in successfully launching the program throughout the region. The program offers employment related reimbursements for up to 90 days of securing employment. The ERS reimbursements are helping her customers retain employment and helping her customers reach self-sufficiency. Eva takes a special interest in each of her customers to ensure they have a successful outcome in obtaining and retaining employment.
