Work For Life

Program Overview

Aspiring Hope's program combines computer skills with job search skills such as resume creation and interview simulations. Upon registration for our program, participants meet with one of our planners to discuss what types of services they need the most. Those who do not have their GED are first enrolled in our GED prep module because many employers will not hire workers who do not have a high school diploma or GED. Participants are enrolled in the job search component of our program concurrently with the GED component or after completing their GED, depending on their availability.

Aspiring Hope organization at this time, we are working with an excess of 100 people. We have grown rapidly, starting with 25 people served in 2016. In all, we have served in excess about 250 people since inception. Last year we placed 50 people in jobs.

All of our program participants are enrolled concurrently in our GED, vocational and soft skills/ job search training programs. The GED course includes GED preparation and provides participants the proper training to enable them to earn their GED. Reading plays a major role in our GED program because often those who enroll with us struggle to read.

The soft skills and job search program covers computer programs, interviewing skills, including how to dress for an interview, soft skills,
and resume creation tips.

The new career expo program will bring more than 50 prospective employers and entrepreneurial representatives together with the ultimate goal of connecting participants with jobs or business opportunities. Participants will put the skills they learn in our other programs to good use as they interview with prospective employers.
