Employment Readiness Training

 

The Employment Readiness Training Program is an ongoing, 16-week series of workshops designed to prepare an individual for long-term employment growth.  This training begins with the participant’s specific knowledge and experience of employment issues.

Through interactive engagement and discussion, participants will learn how
to compete successfully in today’s labor force. By examining the qualities and attributes employers desire from their employees, you will learn to develop the skills needed to conduct your own job search, to perform well on a job interview, and to keep your job once hired.  We train for self-sufficiency and independence.  We are not an employment agency.

Topics covered in the training include
• The nature of employment
• Interests and skills of the job seeker
• Workplace skills and responsibilities
• Strategies for Success

Our training also provides
• Help with setting goals and objectives
• Help with developing and writing a resume
• Job search techniques
• Interview preparation
