Salomon Smith Barney
Salomon Smith Barney in New York City teamed up with Wildcat Services Corp. through Wildcat’s Private Industry Partnership. Together they created a job training approach tailored to the Wall Street firm’s needs. Wildcat case managers work with individuals formerly on public assistance, provide 16 weeks of classroom instruction, and solve housing, childcare and transportation issues. Pre-screened, highly motivated individuals begin work at Salomon Smith Barney as interns. During their internship, they receive additional training and supervision in entry-level positions the company needs to fill such as assistant research analyst, administrative assistants, positions in accounts payable and receivable and in customer service. During the internships, Wildcat provides case managers to work with the trainees and charges Salomon Smith Barney less than half the cost of regular temporary workers. The company earns tax credits that offset its payroll, saves costs, and receives candidates who are trained specifically for jobs the corporation needs to fill. Only individuals who complete successful internships are hired for full-time work.
