<strong>Business</strong>es can use Facebook Places so that<br />

businesses offering deals (e.g. discounts,<br />
freebies, loyalty rewards).<br />

Shameka Moten is an intricate part of the<br />
internal operations for the <strong>Inglewood</strong> Airport<br />
Area Chamber of Commerce. The 31-year-old,<br />
single mother was a DPSS Gain Participant,<br />
who qualified to be a part of the Transitional<br />
Subsidized Employment (TSE) program. She<br />
found it challenging to find gainful employment<br />
in the bookkeeping industry in which she<br />
was trained for and interested in. She went to<br />
the <strong>Inglewood</strong> One-Stop <strong>Business</strong> & Career<br />
Center to participate in the TSE Program and<br />
was amazed at the amount of resources and<br />
opportunities that were available to her.<br />

Originally placed as a clerical intern at the <strong>Inglewood</strong> One-Stop <strong>Business</strong> & Career<br />
Center, but after showing great improvement and diligence, Ms. Moten was placed<br />
at the Chamber of Commerce where she completed her commitment to the TSE<br />
Program. The Chamber of Commerce decided to hire her permanently as a<br />

Office, customer service and Chamber operations. These additional skills makes<br />
her very competitive in today’s workforce. Through her hard work and dedication,<br />
she has been promoted to the Chambers’ Office Manager with an increase in her<br />
salary. With supportive services like clothing and transportation she was able to<br />
attain the job training and experience that would enable her to compete in today’s<br />
workforce. She continues to excel in her position and has collaborated on many<br />
projects in partnership with the South Bay Workforce Investment Board and the<br />
<strong>Inglewood</strong> One-Stop <strong>Business</strong> & Career Center. Congratulations Shameka!<br />
