Workforce Development

9:19 AM Posted by CANBlog

Cornerstone's Workforce Development creates job readiness programs that help move each individual toward independent living and full-time employment. Participants not only receive guidance in job training, but assistance with high school GED, English as a Second Language (ESL), and adult literacy. Other essential services such as transitional housing and medical care are offered to help a person maintain full-time employment.

Beginning with job readiness programs provided by the Cornerstone Christian Women's Job Corps, Workforce Development seeks to assist participants through the entire process of seeking, identifying, obtaining, and retaining a job in their chosen field. We also strive to connect job seekers with employers who work to facilitate retention and career opportunities for our participants.

A new and exciting component of this division is Cornerstone's Food Services and Hospitality Training Program. As part of the community meeting room in the main building, this program will offer participants a hands-on training site in Cornerstone's Creation Restaurant. Upon completion, lunch for 50-75 people can be served daily. It is anticipated that the restaurant will, when fully equipped, allow for 50 pallets of frozen meat and food to be kept for food service programs.
