Ext to people constructing walls N1 - Four days ago this was an empty building. Now, it's a place of hope for people out of work. Angel clip - "What have you been hearing? They feel there is some light at the end of the tunnel…but they still face problems, many have no money." N2 - Angel Taveras works for Southern New Hampshire Services. They're a non-profit community group that runs this center in downtown Manchester. Tyson Food employees who have recently lost their jobs come here. Angel clip - "What do you do here? I help people. Talk with them, reach out to them and tell them what the center is all about." N3 - The center will be open for two years. It's financed by a 2.4 million dollar grant from the state's Department of Labor. Its goals are simple. Ron clip - "Training and employment. We work with these people that come here and help train them to get back to work as quickly as possible." O/C " Over the past five years, manufacturing jobs in NH have declined by 21%. That's higher than the national average. Tyson Foods in Manchester closed down in early February. 550 people lost their jobs." N4 - Angel is one of them. Angel clip - "I learned in December they were closing down. What did you think? What am I going to do, I need a job. Then I realized I could get a job somewhere else." Ron clip - "Angel represents the dislocated worker. They walk in and see him and are glad to see a face they recognize and trust." N5 - Angel provides peer support. He helps his former co-workers fill out documents, set up appointments and tries to keep them encouraged. Angel clip - "They feel afraid, desperate living check to check. Some are afraid of becoming homeless or how they'll feed their children. They feel afraid." Ron clip - "There's emotional stress. They're angry with the business, with society. Then they accept it and when they do they're ready to look for a new job." Shots with clients N6 - On this morning, family arrives. Angel clip - "They are my parents. They were laid off like me and looking for a job. Hopefully I will help them." N7- Like many former Tyson employees, Angel's parents face a formidable barrier. They don't speak English. The center will offer language training. This room will soon be used for computer education. And, social services are now available. Ron clip - "So if someone has a housing need, instead of going to the City we'll have representatives here. So the center is trying to be an answer to all the barriers a person faces when they lose a job." N8- The task facing Angel, Ron and the others that work here is a tough one. This issue is whether NH's economy can absorb 550 manufacturing jobs. Ron clip - "That's a tough question. I have no crystal ball. If you're asking whether they'll all get a job, we don't know. We tackle only one person at a time. There are jobs out there. Perhaps some will need to change their careers." N9 - Eighty or more former Tyson employees have found work. In six months Angel's contract with the center will expire. Then, he'll be looking for work. Until then, he's job hunting for friends. Angel clip - "This has given me the opportunity to help co-workers, to make them feel comfortable being here and to help heal their pain. They see us and they see light at the end of the tunnel." N10 - For NH Outlook, I'm Phil Vaughn. |
