Solid Opportunities for Advancement and Retention
Our two-week professional development training is a stepping stone towards success. We support unemployed and underemployed individuals with skill assessment, employment readiness, career exploration, business acumen, barrier removal, and living-wage job placement.
EMERGE Youth Program
Our youth program removes barriers for youth and places them on a path to self-sufficiency through job achievement, obtaining a credential, apprenticeship, or continuing their education. From College Tours to our Youth Summit, EMERGE is designed to build relationships and trust while providing guidance and counseling until they exit the program.
