Find employment and break down barriers to getting a stable job! Our Career Coaches can help you find a job that is right for you.
We are partnering with an increasing number of area employers who are in need of help and eager to hire. Our bilingual career coaches can:
Work with you to identify your interests and strengths, and find jobs that could be a good fit for you.
Help you identify and overcome any barriers you’re facing in getting hired.
Refer you to training that can help you get the job you want, from English as a Second Language (ESOL) to nursing or vocational training. We also have a fund that can help pay for training if you are working with one of our career or financial coaches.
Help you create, edit, or build your resume to appeal to employers.
Assist you in finding and searching websites where employers post jobs, and help you apply online or otherwise.
Prepare you for job interviews.
Help you negotiate a job offer, including salary, schedules, and benefits.
Provide you with post-employment support if you run into any issues.
