The Justice Jobs applicant training and placement program is chugging along, with two new cohorts and six new hires in the past six weeks. This makes a total of 21 hires since we opened in August 2018, all of whom are still employed with the original employer or have moved up to better jobs. In addition, four applicants are now in the interviewing process, and the next cohort starts April 15.
Justice Jobs is grateful for all the community support from other nonprofits and donors, but especially for the involvement and dedication of the applicants who have gone through our program. Kudos! to everyone!
A quick photo gallery of some of the activity at Justice Jobs over the past six weeks is shown below.
On March 4 and 11, the good people at Scott Key Center (Maya Akhtar, Jeffrey Lambright, and Shawn Dennison (facing camera from side of table above) led Move-UP Dinner programs on the “Discovery Process.” This is a group approach to helping each other discover skills, strengths and possible job areas that would not have occurred to us on our own. We are now using the Discovery Process in the final workshop for each applicant cohort, as it helps greatly with job interview options.
