Job Readiness
New Life Discovery Project program participants will be employed in one of our New Life Enterprises or at at one of our corporate partners. Employment through New Life Discovery Project exist to provide employment opportunities, professional skills, and work experience to people who face barriers reentering the mainstream workforce. New Life Discovery Project aims to develop skills through transitional employment, providing our workers with the appropriate skills in order to transition to mainstream employment. The worker’s “job readiness” will be measured in three areas :
- Soft Skills such as attendance and punctuality, work performance; proper dress; and workplace communication and attitude.
- Hard Skills. The skills specific to a job such as food preparation, operating a forklift, skilled labor, or education and training for a chosen career path.
- Personal Readiness. Required documentation such as ID, Social Security Card, transportation, stable living environment, child care, and health.
Career Development
New Life Discovery Project program participants will also receive career guidance and counseling and develop a personalized career plan. Career development plans may be further education, skilled labor certifications, apprenticeships, or other pathways to a rewarding and sustainable career.
