JOB TRAINING
For the Summer of 2022 openings are available in the following areas: Construction & Remodeling, Culinary Arts, and Property Management & Maintenence. Participants in any of these programs may transition to other programs once they become available. Custom arrangements can be made for those who perform well, with assistance in landing the job of their dreams, even self-employment. Assessment for performance, as well as suitability, will help guide trainees on a path to success. Interest and diligence by trainees will be rewarded by our diligence in helping them achieve their goals. If they are unsure of their goals we will help with that too.
Participants will be paid a nominal amount while training with regular increases in pay as they develop skills.
Available for applicants 15-19 in this session.
HOUSING
Housing will be provided in a safe environment that is carefully monitored. We promote good citizenship, involvement with the community, and strict intervention as needed. Substance abuse, hostility, or other inappropriate behaviors will not be tolerated. Participants will be trained on managing their household, keeping it clean, getting along with neighbors, paying rent, managing utility bills, and the differences between being a renter or moving toward home ownership at some time in the future. Rent will be adjusted according to income.
A rent-to-own program may be available for select candidates. This program is extremely limited, however, we will have 2 houses available around October 2022 for this year's group of trainees. In order to apply for the rent-to-own opportunity, candidates must be enrolled in a Job training program by June 30, 2022.
