Did You Know? 🔎 If you have achieved employment after working with us, we will then move you into our sustainment services.

This service allows us to support you with most job start needs in the first four weeks of your employment. After that, we track your continued employment at 24 and 52 weeks.

This is a quick check-in to see how you are doing. However, if at any point in that year you require a touch base to work through any employment challenges, we are here for you.

If your job ends for any reason, we are here to help you get back to work as soon as possible. Life happens, and we want you to know you have the support when you need it.

Reporting your employment and continued success allows us to continue to receive funding to offer no-cost services for job seekers in our region.
