Job readiness provides participants the skills to create a basic resume, create an email account, and learn to search for jobs online. We educate families on financial literacy counseling including understanding credit scores, credit reports, and budgeting which helps the clients to reduce expenses and to save for purchasing cars and eventually a house.
