Job Readiness Programs
Job Readiness and Training Programs can improve worker employability and earnings, increase self-sufficiency, and connect job seekers with training opportunities and vocational rehabilitation services.
Some programs offer structured comprehensive supports such as on-the-job experiences, credit, stipend, and mentorship to enhance your career goals. They could also provide job-specific coursework, either on site or through distance learning to improve worker employability.
