St. Roch CDC (community development corporation) has partnered with Jobs for Life to provide jobs training for our community. The JfL class consists of 16 sessions and teaches timeless biblical principles concerning work and the ways those principles are applied in the marketplace. Through this training, men and women further develop character and become connected to a community of support to help them obtain far more than just a job. They experience life, a life filled with confidence, coaching, learning, and faith.
The class takes the students on a journey – a journey to discover who they are, their unique value, and the principles they need to overcome roadblocks in their lives. Centered on the Bible, the course covers lessons learned from the lives of characters such as Joseph, David, and Ruth, the teachings of Jesus’ parables, and examples of real world heroes. In addition, the class equips the students with core work readiness skills such as presenting their 60 second commercial, developing a vocational plan, building a resume, learning effective interviewing skills, and many others.
Along with the training, every JfL student has a JfL champion – a mentor or a group of mentors – who provides the student friendship and support both during the training and once the student is employed. 95% of finding and keeping a job is “who you know.” Many JfL students do not have a “who you know network” that can advocate for them and provide support to help them overcome barriers in their lives keeping them from success.
With this training and support system,we are working to transform lives and provide a reliable, trustworthy workforce to meet the pressing employment needs of companies in their area.
