What Does Job Readiness Mean?

Job readiness is training for those seeking employment to get and keep a job. From preparing a resume and cover letter, to what to wear, and how to conduct yourself during an interview, it supports individuals in their search for work.

At CHOICE, we help people who want to work to get “job ready” and prepare for being hired and remaining employed.  Many people want to work but for a variety of reasons haven’t been in the workforce for a period of time.  Their resume may be out of date, interviewing skills may not be what they once were and a number of other factors may have happened that make getting a job difficult for those people, CHOICE is here to lend a helping hand.

What Support Will You Get?

We will help with all the job readiness tasks including helping a person get the right clothes and transportation to the interview.  We’ve even gone on the interview with a client and joined them in the interview or waited in the lobby if that helps reduce anxiety – whatever support it takes to help someone get a job.  After that, we stay in regular contact and provide support for a person during their first few years on the job as life stresses can impede a person’s motivation and ability to continue working.  To summarize, we help our clients get ready for the job, then get the job and then keep the job.  We are the long term partner that wants to help our client’s succeed.
