Services provided by our two Employment Programs

Employment Specialists from our Early Employment Team can work with job seekers to find their first job in the United States and help to identify career opportunities and match skills with jobs. After some time with regular job income, our Economic Empowerment Programs can help identify strengths and help find available opportunities for career advancement and professional development.
