in the house of representatives
Mr. VALADOA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Community Services Employment Training (CSET) on its 50th anniversary and to celebrate years of dedicated service to the people of Tulare County.
to provide underserved families with the resources, skills, and opportunities they need to build better lives. Since then, CSET has remained committed to that mission while expanding its services to meet the evolving needs of Tulare County residents.
strengthen and develop the local workforce by offering job search assistance, career planning, vocational training scholarships, and other supportive workforce initiatives. The organization has also provided vital support to underserved community members through energy assistance and free tax preparation programs. These services help families afford essential heating, water, and electricity costs while ensuring they can file their annual tax returns at no expense.
a wide variety of grant awards that have helped expand its ability to serve the community. In 2022, CSET received millions of dollars in grant funding from the Bezos Day 1 Families Fund to support its efforts to address homelessness and assist families in need. That same year, the U.S. Department of Labor's OSHA Susan Harwood Training Grant Program awarded CSET additional funding to expand its workplace safety education. The assistance received through this program has equipped vulnerable workers, temporary workers, and workers in high-hazard industries with the training needed to make workplaces around Tulare County safer and healthier.
Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues in the House of Representatives to join me in congratulating Community Services Employment Training on 50 years of dedicated service to Tulare County. Through its diverse community initiatives and unwavering commitment to creating lasting change, CSET continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of Central Valley families and truly embodies its core values of belonging, hope, growth, and connection.
