The Career Connections Program will prepare you for a career training program and to start a new career!
The Career Connections Program will help you to improve your English or math skills for a career. You will get support thinking about your interests, values, and job skills. We work with a wide range of training providers. Participants in the Career Connections Program work with the program's career advisor to research what career is good for them and to find training opportunities. Some training programs require an English and/or a math test to enroll. We help participants improve their skills so they can pass these tests.
The program is 17 weeks. It will start the last week of January and end in mid-June 2026.
The program includes:
- Classes to build communication and computer skills for the workplace
- Support exploring options for career training
- Help applying to local career training programs
