Community Assistance Programs

Community Assistance Programs is a community based program that bridges the needs of employers and job seekers. Their mission is to develop targeted programming that provides individuals with the training and support they need to enter the workforce, including specialized skill sets and industry specific certifications, as well as to collaborate with community employers to develop the types of employees they need. Staff at Community Assistance Programs assist local employers with accessing government benefit programs that assist with the hiring and retention of underserved and justice involved populations. Job seekers begin by attending a mandatory orientation and providing government identification. Once this step is complete, individuals join the Community Assistance Programs network as clients and have access to more specialized programing based on their skills and interests. Ultimately, the organization hopes to improve the community by increasing access to sustainable, self-sufficient employment and expanding the workforce.
