New Job Training Programs!At Hospitality House, our goal is to transition homeless guests into housing by offering a comprehensive plan for success. We offer shelter, food, case management, housing assistance and various wraparound services, including job skills training. For several years, Hospitality House has proudly provided culinary job training, but new this summer are two new job training programs: computer literacy and facilities maintenance.
The computer literacy program launched this June and has been met with positive reviews from shelter guests. The goal of this 12-week program is to increase the confidence of participants when using a computer. Ultimately, participants will be able to conduct internet research, send professional emails, build a resume and apply for jobs online.
Levi Bryant, the course instructor, commented, “My goal is to passively monitor the participants’ improvement and try to help those falling behind so they can keep up in the course and be successful.”
The facilities maintenance course is expected to debut this July. The 12-week course will allow participants to acquire valuable skills with an emphasis on hands-on work experience to master maintenance and repair projects while gaining knowledge on preventing hazards and troubleshooting.
All shelter guests are encouraged to enroll in one or more of our course offerings. Tyson Powers, Case Manager Supervisor, works with local businesses to identify potential employment opportunities for graduates.
