Chinese-American Planning Council

Overall
If your looking for a company that’s going to be flexible in hours, and offers weekend and overtime pay. Then this is the job for you, training is offered but not necessary for all. There’s a 24hr calling service center where you will be directed to someone who can satisfy all your needs. They answer questions, give good advice and promote remote and hands on training. Chine American planning council is a company that has grown with their employees and have made a huge improvement in my learning process of becoming  a home health aid & Personal Assistant. I would definitely recommend Chinese American Planning Council to all my friends & family, who are looking to work in the home attendant industry. I’ve work for this company since 2017 and i can honestly say this has been the best company that i have ever worked for and with. They treat everyone like family and they do not discriminate. No matter your age, race or gender This company makes you feel like Your apart of their growing process and family. I highly recommend employment at Chinese American Council Planning Council, Especially for those who want to help children with disabilities.

On the surface, it seems like a good company. The benefits such as the insurance and paid time off are nice, though wages are on the low side. You also get to meet some friendly and nice people who do good work and care for the community.

sadly, for a nonprofit there is toxic upper management and HR that preys on an employee's kind heartedness to do good work for the community. Upper
management is ok with having teams that are understaffed so expect yourself to do work outside of your scope without the appropriate pay. Next, while working there, all i saw was favoritism, nepotism, and biased management throughout the company. 

Moreover, when issues are brought up to HR, it was mishandled or not addressed at all. They are equally toxic.

You will want to stay for the good work you do and serving the community. However, you will and should leave because upper management and HR allow a hostile work environment to fester. very disappointing behavior especially as a nonprofit. 


What is the best part of working at the company?
Friendly support of the staff and convenient facilities. I was able to use the video screen to have silent videos, such as The Elevator. The students could understand what is being shown, and the teacher adds the text. So it’s comprehensible input.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
One of the students seem to have an emotional problem. But that student would listen to me, and another student helped her be more cooperative.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Friendly, supportive. When I needed some copies made or some supplies, such as white board markers the staff provided them,

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I go to the class early to make sure I have everything prepared. I went to the 7th floor to get copies made. I went back down to my class, and had the materials in order. 
I welcomed the students as they came in. I had some casual conversation with the first students. Then as more students arrived I began the lesson.

It was a pleasure to work with the Chinese American Council as a Literacy Consultant for one of their after-school sites, in the Lower East Side.I worked with two groups of English Language Learners who could benefit from extra support in reading and writing during after school hours. They were a bunch of bright and energetic children who taught me to be creative in thinking through the most effective ways to reach them, in order to better support their learning. It also affirmed what I had known for some time already: that a dialectic approach to teaching is more effective as it nurtures the relationship and rapport teachers must develop with their students. I had support from the after school staff and teaching resources readily available for me at all times, in addition to prompt feedback and opportunities to debrief about the effectiveness of the interventions, or to rethink the strategies being used. Overall, a wonderful and collaborative environment.

Based on the number of visits for the month , I plan my  visits accordingly . Though the documents provided me with the medical past and present history of the member , I always would like to be proactive to face the unknown and provide my best possible care . With my clinical experience , I am able to use my critical thinking and implement evidence based nursing practice within the set limitations. I am able to stay up to date with the changing scientific trends in health care system . The hardest part of the job is when planned work stays incomplete due to various factors ( lack of team coordiantion, environmental factors). The most enjoyable part of the job is to meet different clients from various backgrounds and to be able to meet their needs at the comfort of their homes. My coworkers are very cooperative in terms of assisting in scheduling visits and in interpreting foreign language .

Greeting everyone at the start of the day was great, especially after a weekend. Everyone had stories to tell about what they did or where they went. It was exciting to see how when a mistake with the students it was an opportunity for a teachable moment. Each student learns at a different pace, I enjoyed assisting the teachers to get students up to speed with the others by doing One-to One and encouraging them that there are no limits when it comes to learning and motivating them to do better. Being able to make a difference in the lives of the youth I worked with made me discover myself and find my talent. I know that I have lots to learn as a teacher’s aide, but with the knowledge gained while working at Chinese American Planning Council’s afterschool programs, I know I am headed in the right direction. It was fun working there and I hope they will call me back.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I liked working at this agency because they have good hours and the clients is friendly and easy to get along with, also the staff always is courteous and friendly and always willing to help me with anything I ask them about what I have to do for my case.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part about working at Chinese American that I have not no real stress other sometimes it’s difficult to do all the work at the same time.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s very nice jobs and clients are nice to me

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It’s alot to deal with at the clients home on certain days but I usually finish my work assignments by the end of the day.

They are trying to promote a better work life culture. At least my team was very flexible if you needed a break or need time for family matters, but overall the organization has a lot of low paid staff who are unhappy and there is little room for advancement. Management makes significantly more than frontline staff. Healthcare is really bad here, its pretty much useless, co-pay is high, a lot of doctors don't even take it. Everyone is pretty progressive here so having another opinion is not acceptable socially for the most part. 

Not a completely terrible experience. I did learn a lot and most of the coworkers I met were nice people. But a lot of the job is dependent on who your supervisor/manager is. If you get someone as incompetent as I did, prepare to essentially lead projects by yourself, problem solve problems that aren't your responsibility, and make decisions that are above your pay grade. 

great place to get familiar with the workings of city agencies and its relationships to funders and how city policies and other events affect the industry. gratifying working but lack room for advancement and poor pay unless you're an executive. Many transitions to come within the next few years or so. There is a high turn-over rate, contracts are finite and positions could be seasonal.
