Whoa, whoa, whoa, say what?

​

A former Rock Valley College student has come forward to report feeling a huge "Sense of Loss and Betrayal" after TWC was honored with the cheap plastic Eagles Award.

​

Why was The Workforce Connection (TWC) ever even considered for such an Award, that embodies trust, equity, and a sense of belonging?

​

The former RVC student whom we will call "Pete" (name is withheld by his request)

has filed an:

 

Illinois WIOA Age, Discrimination, Retaliation, Complaint against 2 Agents who work for The Workforce Connection

​

Here is the meat of Pete's WIOA Illinois Complaint.

​

Career Planner Agent Matt Baptist of TWC Discriminated against customer Pete due to his Age and his Disability.

​

Then Matt Baptist's Supervisor, Jessica Story - Associate Director of Workforce Development, Retaliated against Pete.

​

 J. Story Retaliated (Retaliation) against the customer (Pete) because Pete had requested a much-needed Discrimination Complaint Form for a total of 5 Times.

 

This lawfully requested "Discrimination Complaint Form" was requested by email

3 times from Jessica Story & then 2 times from Agent Matt Baptist.

​

Agent-Jessica Story sent an email to "Pete" that said simply:

 "I am requesting that you stop emailing Matt Baptist." 

​

Pete says it is "so sad and so shameful that The Workforce Connection discriminates against individuals with disabilities."
