Eighteen participants completed the intensive eight-week program and were awarded certificates of completion, recognizing their dedication and achievements.

Shared Goal for Community Prosperity: Supporting Career Development

This graduation ceremony marks CMP’s second completed vocational training program and first public graduation ceremony since the 2020 Fire and Pandemic, drawing significant attention from the community. Several senior representatives from Flushing Bank attended the event. In his speech, Senior Executive Vice-President & Chief Retail and Client Development Officer Mike Bingold highlighted Flushing Bank's long-standing commitment to community development, emphasizing that this training program represents a key initiative in giving back to the community.

Senior Vice President & Director of Retail Banking Ling Xu shared her personal journey as a member of an immigrant family, underscoring Flushing Bank’s dedication to supporting the career development of new immigrants. “Through programs like this, we aim not only to help participants achieve personal growth but also to inspire them to give back to the community, creating a virtuous cycle,” she emphasized.

Other distinguished attendees included Senior Vice President & Director of the Asian Segment Judy Ng, Senior Vice President & Area Manager Queens John Siu, Vice President & Branch Manager Chinatown Branch Li Fang Chen, Vice President & Branch Manager Kissena Branch Leo Wang, Vice President & Financial Consultant Jessica Han, five board members from CMP, and representatives from State Senator Kavanagh, Assemblymember Grace Lee, Councilmember Marte’s office.

Participant Stories: Transforming Life Experiences

Program graduates Summer and Johnathan shared their experiences during the ceremony, expressing how the program transformed their perspectives. They noted that the curriculum covered not only professional knowledge like banking structures and investment strategies but also emphasized the importance of friendliness and patience for this role. “This has been a refreshing learning journey,” Summer remarked.

Course Highlights and Future Opportunity

This free training program, launched in January 2025, was designed to equip participants with essential banking industry skills through eight weeks of comprehensive financial education and practical training. The participants in this program included current undergraduate students and job seekers pursuing part-time or full-time employment opportunities. Professional instruction was provided by Flushing Bank representatives in both Mandarin and English. CMP also offered supplemental services such as resume writing, cover letter guidance, and interview preparation to ensure participants were job-ready. Flushing Bank will open a new branch at Chatham Square in Chinatown and intends to prioritize hiring outstanding graduates from this training program, providing participants with tangible employment opportunities.

CMP's Mission and Ongoing Commitments

As a not-for-profit workforce and small business organization that includes a private career school licensed by the New York State Department of Education, CMP is well-known for its QuickBooks accounting training, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) courses, and culinary programs. Despite the devastation caused by a five-alarm fire in 2020, CMP has continued to expand its offerings. Last year, it relaunched its vocational training services, including an HVAC program in partnership with S&W Wilson, Inc., which received widespread acclaim from the community.

 

In 2025, CMP introduced new programs, including this financial literacy training in partnership with Flushing Bank and a medical receptionist training program with the CAIPA Foundation. CMP remains committed to providing high-quality training services, empowering economic self-sufficiency and career development, and injecting renewed energy and hope into the New York community.

  • 人力中心與法拉盛銀行（Flushing Bank）聯合舉辦的理財知識與零售銀行免費職業培訓班於 2025 年 3 月 21 日（星期五）圓滿結課，於在當日中午在人力中心舉行畢業典禮。向成功完成為期八週的密集培訓的18位學員頒發結業證書，以表彰他們的努力與成就。

    此次畢業典禮是人力中心自2020年火災及疫情後第二個成功完結的職業培訓項目，同時也是首次對外公開的畢業典禮，吸引了社區的廣泛關注。活動當天，多位法拉盛銀行高層代表出席。資深行政副總裁兼首席零售與客戶開發官Mike Bingold在致辭中強調他們對社區發展的長期承諾，並表示此次培訓班是法拉盛銀行回饋社區的重要舉措。資深副總裁兼零售銀行業務總監Ling Xu分享了她作為移民家庭出身的個人經歷，並表示法拉盛銀行將持續支持新移民的職業發展。“我們希望通過這樣的培訓，不僅幫助學員實現個人成長，更期待他們未來能回饋社區，形成良性循環，”她強調。

    出席嘉賓還包括法拉盛銀行資深副總裁兼亞洲區總監Judy Ng、資深副總裁兼皇后區區域經理John Siu、副行長兼華埠分行行長Li Fang Chen、副總裁兼凱辛娜（Kissena）分行經理Leo Wang、和副總裁兼財務顧問Jessica Han、人力中心五位董事成員，及三位州參議員卡凡納（State Senator Kavanagh）、眾議員李榮恩（Assemblymember Grace Lee）、和市議員馬泰（Councilmember Marte）的代表出席，共同見證盛事，影響空前。

    培訓畢業學員代表Summer和Johnathan在典禮上分享了他們的學習心得。他們表示，課程不僅讓他們掌握了銀行結構、投資理財等專業知識，更體會到友善、耐心等職業素養的重要性。“這是一次刷新我人生經歷的學習旅程，”Summer說道。

    該免費培訓班於2025年1月開課，旨在通過八週的金融教育與實務培訓，幫助不同經驗水平的學員掌握銀行業的核心技能，本次學生就有在校學生，亦有找兼職或全職的求職者。由法拉盛專業代表以普通話及英語授課。人力中心還提供簡歷撰寫、求職信指導及面試準備等輔助服務，協助學員順利對接職場。法拉盛銀行今年將於紐約華埠且林士果廣場（Chatham Square）新設分行，屆時將優先考慮招聘本次培訓班的優秀畢業生，為學員提供實際就業機會。

    人力中心作為一家非營利職業與小型企業發展機構，下設經紐約州教育部許可的私立職業學校。該組織以QuickBooks會計培訓、認證護理助理（CNA）及廚師培訓等多樣職業培訓聞名社區。2020年，一場五級大火摧毀了其原有教學場地，但人力中心並未因此止步。去年，人力中心首次重啟職業培訓服務，推出與偉生冷暖氣公司（S&W Wilson, Inc. ）合作的暖通空調培訓課程，獲得社區熱烈好評。此銀行培訓，以及與亞美醫協慈善基金會（CAIPA Foundation）合作的醫療前台接待員培訓班，是2025年新增設的職業培訓課程。人力中心持續致力於為社區提供優質的培訓服務，助力實現經濟自給自足和職業發展，為紐約社區注入更多活力與希望。

CMP's First HVAC Training Successfully Concluded on August 16th

CMP's first HVAC training with S&W Wilson, Inc. has come to a successful conclusion. At a graduation ceremony on Friday, August 16, CMP presented graduates with certificates of completion in recognition of their efforts and achievements.

Since the start of the course on May 22, the 3-month training not only allowed the students to practice their skills in a real HVAC work environment but also enhanced their market competitiveness through the work readiness courses provided by the CMP, such as the analysis of industry dynamics and training on interview skills, laying a foundation for their successful entry into the job market.

At the graduation ceremony, Stephanie Lau, Deputy Executive Director of CMP, said, “Today's graduation ceremony marks the end of an important learning journey for the students and the beginning of their new career.” Mr. Wilson Fung, the instructor and owner of S&W Wilson, Inc., also said that many of the students have made remarkable progress and will be recommended for relevant jobs.

HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) covers a wide range of services for indoor environmental comfort and air quality. Since the career information session last December, CMP has recognized the high interest of the community in the knowledge and skills of the industry. In response, CMP covered the full cost of all materials and equipment and set the registration fee at just $100—over 90% below the market rate—to reduce barriers and enable more aspiring individuals to enter the field.

This training marks the CMP's first vocational training program since the loss of the original classroom space due to the 2020 fire. CMP continues to innovate and improve the quality of its services to help community members achieve economic independence and career dreams.
