Our graduates are enthusiastic and ready to be
valuable employees. Ideally, we are seeking full
time opportunities with eventual eligibility for
benefits. Most of our graduates are seeking entry
level positions in the $8-12/hour range. Jobs
should be generally accessible to
public transportation. Employers who are willing to
give individuals with criminal backgrounds a second
chance are especially needed. Typical types of
positions include the following:
 |
General office and clerical
|
|
|
Warehouse, forklift operators, shipping and
receiving, order filling
|
|
|
Manufacturing

New
cabinets/installation for an office work room
(approximately 16 feet of cabinets).
We need base and top
cabinets with a scratch-resistant top. It is about
10 ft down one side of the wall, corner, then 6 feet
down the other wall. We want a work desk in the
corner for a computer. The room is gray so we
wanted something that was that color or
complimenting. It’s for our new building so that’s
why we need it new. The cabinets will store paper,
office supplies, etc. I think volunteers can
install it but it would probably have to be bought
new.

International Cultural Exchange
--Friendship families for students
--Authors for internet news service
that provides
information to international students. For
example, how to speak American English, free
cultural events around town, how to get
established here (shopping hints, where to buy,
etc.), cultural behaviors, etiquette, nice
places to visit, dealing with cultural shock,
where to get food from home, etc. Any
information that a person who is completely new
to this area and culture would need to know to
get along here is fair game.
Hopefully, if we had
some folks who could research these things and
keep us current on items going on, that would
help a lot. We would take care of the
publishing part so all they would need to do is
to generate the content and we would take it
from there.

strengthen their interviewing skills.
This is less than a two hour commitment and occurs
on the following Thursdays between 2:00-4:00pm in

Your constructive feedback will be valuable to our
