Do you have an HR, hiring or HR consulting background? Lack of sustainable employment is the most significant factor contributing to economic instability in the lives of our clients. Our Employment Readiness Program enhances our clients’ employability through individualized sessions with volunteers who are experienced in the HR field to assess optimal job opportunities, improve presentation, communication, interpersonal and interviewing skills and to develop resumes and cover letters. The Employment Readiness Program is currently open Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:30-12:30. Our goal is to expand the program hours and there is some flexibility as to when the additional hours may be added.
