Workforce Development

Our Workforce Development programs aim to eliminate poverty and increase health by preventing unemployment and providing support and access to everyone from high schoolers to entrepreneurs and job seekers within our community. By providing workforce training through skill-building, job readiness- training, certifications, paid internships, and job placements, teens are more prepared to enter the workforce and experience professional success.
