Versatile ComprehensiveEmpowering Employment Opportunities

The Economic Opportunity Program (EOP) is a cornerstone of our community-based approach, offering workforce development services through eight community-based organizations. EOP focuses on breaking down barriers for those who need it most, including low-income residents, those experiencing homelessness or housing instability, and individuals with prior justice involvement. By combining long-term, relationship-based career coaching with employment resources, EOP helps participants achieve stability, job readiness, and sustainable careers.

How It Works

The EOP offers participants a comprehensive suite of services, combining efforts from multiple organizations to maximize support. Services include:

 

  • Career coaching
  • Career mapping and resource planning
  • Support services for job training and job search activities
  • Facilitated access to WorkSource centers

  • Centralized support services like rent assistance

  • Training scholarships at WorkSource centers
