Responding to the changing needs of “at-risk” populations, the Downtown Mission has created the Enterprise Program, a “needs” specific program that offers vocational supports to employment-challenged individuals. The Enterprise Program provides participants facing a variety of personal struggles and barriers with the opportunity to target their career goals, to gain industry-standard on-the-job training and to develop skills to equip them to become “job-ready.”
At the Downtown Mission, opportunity knocks for those determined to open those doors…to work!
While participating in the Enterprise Program, students benefit from in-class employment skills training. Workshops are specifically designed to identify a student’s hard and soft skills, to target their career goals and to create a realistic blueprint for employment.
The curriculum addresses these topics: Communication in the workplace, Teamwork essentials, Decision-making and problem-solving techniques, Conflict management, Employer expectations, and Job search strategies. Job-ready graduates are encouraged to access the resource center to further explore ongoing employment opportunities and to network with community service agencies offering job search supports in partnership with the Downtown Mission.
The Enterprise Program employability skills training component is developed to target a student’s hard and soft skills – to prepare them as “job-ready” candidates in the workforce.
