The Learning Center at Our House was excited to roll out
a brand new Job Skills curriculum last month. Residents
who have significant obstacles to employment can apply
for the Job Training program, where participants
develop employability, communication, and hard skills.
The educational components of this program are our
new Job Skills classes, which take place every morning,
Monday through Thursday, in the Shelter. Classes cover
dozens of different workplace topics such as Conflict
Mediation and Resolution; Giving Notice and Requesting
Time Off; and Sexual Harassment.
