Team One Credit Union Partners with SCBEP for Vehicle Donation
The Saginaw County Business & Education Partnership (SCBEP) acknowledges that access to reliable transportation is an obstacle to secure employment and creating self-sufficiency for individuals in Saginaw County. The Saginaw County Business & Education Partnership is proud to partner with Team One Credit Union to help individuals overcome their transportation barriers.
Team One Credit Union donated two reliable vehicles, to help two employees in Saginaw. These dependable vehicles will remove barriers to their employment, and create sustainable transportation for themselves and their families. Team One Credit Union and SCBEP will continue to work together to remove barriers to employment in Saginaw and throughout the Great Lakes Bay Region.
Panels included funders, ROI and investing, data and metrics reporting, and how to connect your success coach with employees for supportive services. The days following the conference, ERN strategists and members from the states of Ohio, Arizona and New York came to the SCBEP to learn our processes for the Great Lakes Bay Employer Resource Network.
