Job Readiness Program
In our goal to help immigrants and refugees reach self-sufficiency, we are determined to teach how to navigate and succeed in the American workforce. With the help of volunteers, we cover topics such as applications, interviews, studying, dress attire, and pinpointing unique and valuable skills in each client. In every step, we strive to create a new level of confidence and independence.
Promoting Self-Sufficiency Through Financial and Occupational Empowerment
To best prepare our clients, we meet with employers to learn their needs and requirements, so we can assist our clients in matching their description.
Resumes and Application
As clients begin their job search our volunteers teach how to create resumes. They teach clients the purpose and process of resumes so that they can confidently create them independently in the future. Assistance includes wording, formatting, and determining what experience and skills to include. Volunteers also help explain, complete, and review job applications.
Interviews
Volunteers help clients get ready for job interviews by preparing possible interview questions and simulating a professional interview environment. This helps clients feel prepared, be prepared, and gain confidence in their worth and skills.
Dress Attire
We provide clients with the clothing and any specific items they need as they advance in the hiring process.
Volunteer to Teach!
We are looking for volunteers to join us in assisting immigrants and refugees navigate the process of employment. When we build confidence and success in the work force, it creates economic security which leads to help provide safe housing, nutritious food, and improved academic outcomes.
