Anoka County Job Training Center Earns State Awards

Anoka County Job Training Center Employees Garner Prestigious Awards For Dedication And Service

Two Anoka County Job Training Center employees have stepped into the spotlight thanks to the Department of Children, Youth, and Families. Senior Career Counselor, Patty Eason, was rightly named Employment Counselor of the Year, a testament to her unwavering commitment to guide families toward greater stability and well-being. Eason's comprehensive strategy through the Partnership for Family Success program has, according to Anoka County, been notably fruitful.

By embracing a holistic view, Eason doesn't just temporarily patch up the lives of the people she works with. She instills the tools necessary to slowly but surely build a sustainable future for entire families. On the other end of the accolade spectrum is Emmanuel Fonchin, distinguished by the Rising Star Award for his passionate dedication to inclusivity, as per Anoka County. His acknowledgment and respect for the cultural diversities of the job center's clients have been pivotal to creating an equitable environment.

District 7's Commissioner Mandy Meisner, who chairs the Human Services Committee, applauded the efforts of Eason and Fonchin. "We are extremely thankful for Patty and Emmanuel, and they work they do," Meisner expressed, the Anoka County Stated. She highlights the growing diversity in the district, suggesting that expert service isn't born overnight but is carefully refined through a blend of education, training, and experience.

The Anoka County Job Training Center has been bathed in pride by these awards, as department director Nicole Swanson notes. "To receive two awards for one agency is unheard of in the work that we do," Nicole Swanson told Anoka County.
