Job and Career Training and Placement

 

Employment skills are critical tools in maintaining success and stability for a family.  Many adults lack the skills to find employment with a livable wage.  Many of them face so many barriers to work (e.g. transportation, child care, etc.) that it is difficult to maintain employment.

The Salvation Army's Career Enhancement Center addresses these issues by enhancing employment skills, alleviating barriers to employment while providing assessments, job training and job placement assistance.

The Career Enhancement Center at The Salvation Army is dedicated to getting people in our community prepared for better job opportunities and placed in jobs that will support their families.
