Metropolitan Holdings Teams Up With The Dayton Job Corps Center

Metropolitan Holdings is excited for the future of our partnership with the Dayton Job Corps Center!

Earlier this month, Julie Yesnick, our Vice President of Property Management, and our property management team from Parkview were able to tour the training facility and meet with the students and the instructors.

Due to COVID restrictions and other government regulations, it took nearly 6 months to get approval for a face-to-face meeting from the Department of Labor. Our team was able to walk through the cement and masonry area, the carpentry area, and the facilities maintenance area.

Our intent for this partnership is to allow students who are towards the end of their program to experience hands-on learning at Parkview under our service team's leadership and guidance. Then, upon graduation, hire these students to join our Service Department.

The students are paid through their work-based learning program and are “volunteering” for us on our site. Our contribution to the center will be through donation of older appliances, electrical/plumbing/drywall materials, tools, and serving as adjunct instructors from time to time.

We look forward to watching this partnership take shape over the months and years to come!
