How training can help people with barriers to employment find work

Employment can be a difficult process for individuals with disabilities and those who face barriers to work. Additionally, some individuals may lack the necessary job skills or experience needed to secure employment or reenter the workforce. This is where an EmployAbilities training program can play a critical role in helping individuals overcome these barriers and find meaningful employment.

Our programs are designed to provide individuals with the necessary training and experience needed to become successful in the workforce. Here are some of the ways a relevant training program can help:

Employability Training

Employability training focuses on developing the soft skills that are essential for success in the workplace. This includes things like communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and time management. By focusing on these skills, individuals can become more confident and effective in their work, making them more attractive to potential employers.

Job Skills Training

Job skills training focuses on developing the specific skills needed for a particular job or industry. This may include things like computer skills, customer service, or certifications like Standard First Aid. By developing these skills, individuals become more qualified and marketable in their field, increasing their chances of securing employment.

Basic Computer Training

In today’s digital age, basic computer skills are essential for success in many jobs. EmployAbilities offers basic computer training to help individuals become comfortable using computers and other technology. For example, you might learn the basics of using navigating online job sites and applications, email, and word processing programs. This training can help individuals become more efficient in their work, as well as more attractive to potential employers.

Work Experience

Finally, work experience is essential for individuals who are trying to enter the workforce for the first time or who are transitioning to a new career. EmployAbilities provides individuals with the opportunity to gain work experience through their programs. This experience can be invaluable in helping individuals develop the skills and confidence needed to succeed in their chosen field. Oftentimes, a work experience payment will help secure employment with that same employer.
