Program Overview

The goal of the Ubuntu Pathways Job Skills Training Program is to provide goal-driven youth with resources to access opportunities in the world of work and obtain and maintain a stable income. To that end, participants are provided with job readiness workshops, job placements with local companies, and ongoing support.  The program is focused on placing youth in entry-level job opportunities.
 
Although hands-on trainings may be available, these are short term resources that are for candidates awaiting very specific opportunities. There are currently no music, recording, or carpentry programs available. All current job opportunities are focused on placement in hospitality, customer service, food service, admin, and retail. ​

  • Is not currently enrolled in school or planning to go back to school within the next 12 months
