Job Readiness Training PDF Print E-mail

Our 10-week program is a proven, effective approach to helping clients achieve sustained employment and personal renewal.

It includes:

1. Intake Interview: Clients talk extensively with one of our Job Placement Directors to discuss their personal background, work history and goals.

2. Job Readiness Seminar: This two-day seminar teaches the skills and values clients need to find employment and succeed in the workplace.

3. Holistic Hardware: This 10-week course comprises video presentations and discussions that help clients develop valuable life skill “tools” such as responsibility, vision, self-esteem, faith and discipline.

4. Jobs Plus Club: Clients meet weekly to receive additional training and share the triumphs and challenges related to their job search or employment situation.

5. Job Placement Interview/Job Search: After attending two Club meetings, each client again meets with the Job Placement Director to develop a job search action plan.  Clients are always welcome to use our Resource Center for resume preparation, internet access, telephone follow up with potential employers and additional job readiness video training.

Biblical principles guide all of our teaching. In our weekly Club meetings, we discuss values and character traits such as vision, discipline, responsibility and work by using Biblical definitions, teachings and stories. In counseling, our views and teachings on issues such as premarital sex, welfare, work ethic, etc. are based on Biblical principles. In our Job Readiness Seminar, we discuss various topics such as work, self esteem, and decision-making from a Biblical perspective.
