Our Career Pathway Model is:
- Individual-focused: Right job at the right time at the right place with seamless and comprehensive supports in place.
- Employer-focused: Deep understanding of employer needs that is responsive to hiring needs.
- Advancement-focused: From the beginning of engagement, an employment plan focused on growing a career, not just a job.
Towards Employment connects people with jobs and companies with good workers. We provide the right service at the right time to address barriers, develop hard and soft skills, and gain the necessary experience to obtain a job and career.
In addition to job readiness training, our model provides supportive services that make a difference for individuals facing barriers to employment. We provide assistance for transportation, tools, and uniforms, and have a legal department that helps clear warrants, prevent evictions and foreclosures, addresses child support arrears, and clears debt. Most importantly, we provide career planning, coaching, and skill building through work experience and technical training so newly hired workers can succeed in their current job and then advance along a career pathway.
At the same time, we work with employers to provide training tailored to their needs and then source candidates that fill their talent gap. Over 300 employers have confidence in our proven training programs and personal coaching to prepare new and current employees for career success.
