Personal responsibility and taking care of family are the primary goals for those who receive
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) in Texas. The Workforce Centers honor those
job seekers who take these goals to heart and work effectively with staff to improve the lives of
themselves and their family. We congratulate Dorothy Neal as our “Job Seeker Ambassador” for
her success in doing so. Neal came to the Workforce Center needing guidance to find suitable employment, child care
assistance and help with effective job search. A workforce career specialist assessed Neal’s work
skills and outlined a course of job-readiness workshops where she participated in mock
job interviews.
