Career Clinic spotlit by Fort Myers CRA; owner says she helped 427 people find jobs or promotions
Summary
Rashika Fuller Battle, owner of Career Clinic, presented a business spotlight to the Fort Myers CRA board describing services for returning citizens, youth outreach, phlebotomy and medical-assistant training, and said Career Clinic assisted about 427 people since 2021.
Rashika Fuller Battle, owner of Career Clinic, told the Fort Myers Community Redevelopment Agency that her business has helped roughly 427 people with employment searches, promotions and certifications since opening in 2021.
"I have assisted about 427 individuals with finding employment or obtaining promotions or getting certain certifications," Fuller Battle said during the board's business-spotlight segment, listing services that include resume help, employer services such as fingerprinting and drug testing, and medical-assistant and phlebotomy training.
Fuller Battle said Career Clinic has specialized programs for returning citizens, including coaching on how to discuss criminal records in interviews, transportation support to initial work weeks and partnerships with organizations that provide professional clothing, mental-health evaluations and temporary housing where needed. She said she also does youth outreach and works with private schools and CareerSource for internship and training opportunities.
The owner credited mentorship and Enterprise Center staff for assistance with certification and licensing. Board members asked for event dates and contact information; Fuller Battle said contact details and service descriptions are available on her closing slide and that she plans return events for expungement assistance and legal clinics in March or April.
The board did not take action; this presentation was part of the CRA's business-spotlight program.
