We provide referrals to resources to help you gain and maintain employment. This may include assistance with work and school related tools and books. Job Readiness Training Our staff provides assistance with becoming ready for employment, including interviewing skills, resume writing, and soft skills training. Young Adults are able to complete a course which teaches skills that employers are looking for.

This also includes participation incentives - getting paid for learning appropriate work ethics.
