STARS (Success Training and Retention Services) is a unique and innovative employment readiness training program. In addition to being a division of the Pinellas County Department of Health and Human Services, STARS is also a licensed affiliate of the internationally replicated, Harlem, New York-based STRIVE model program, which has been operating successfully for nearly 25 years.
STARS is addressing a critical need – preparing the inexperienced, unemployed, and underemployed residents of Pinellas County to meet current workforce demands. Through a series of comprehensive and dynamic activities, workshop participants become actively involved in their own growth process and acquire a heightened sense of self-esteem, empowerment, and are equipped with the tools to build a better future.
Upon successful completion of the workshop, job placement assistance is provided, along with lifetime support and services. Eligibility requires that participants are residents of Pinellas County. For more information, please contact our center in St. Petersburg at 727-453-6530 or Clearwater at 727-464-8486.
