About
CAREER DEVELOPMENT THROUGH EDUCATION AND TRAININGSJI'S EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING PROGRAMS SUPPORT LOW INCOME HIGH-BARRIER INDIVIDUALS MOST OF WHOM ARE 200% BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. PARTICIPANTS ARE ON A PATH TO CAREER GROWTH THROUGH SHORT-TERM TRAINING, BASIC EDUCATION, INCLUDING DIGITAL SKILLS BUILDING, CAREER COACHING, AND JOB PLACEMENT. CAREER NAVIGATORS SUPPORT PARTICIPANTS WITH WRAPAROUND SERVICES, AND TO DEVELOP WORKPLACE PERFORMANCE SKILLS AND RECEIVE SHORT-TERM TRAINING, SUCH AS OUR HEALTHCARE FOUNDATIONS TRAINING. FOLLOWING TRAINING, WE SUPPORT PARTICIPANTS IN ENTRY-LEVEL, FULL-TIME JOBS WITH EMPLOYERS WHO ARE COMMITTED TO UPSKILLING THEIR EMPLOYEES, ENSURING THAT PARTICIPANTS CAN QUICKLY MOVE UP THE LADDER INTO MIDDLE-WAGE CAREERS. SJI CONTINUES TO IMPLEMENT CUSTOMIZED TRAININGS FOR BUSINESSES AND INDUSTRIES TO MEET PARTICIPANT AND BUSINESS NEEDS FOR ECONOMIC STABILITY. IN 2019, NEARLY 500 INDIVIDUALS WERE SERVED. WHILE SJI WAS FOUNDED TO SUPPORT CITY OF SEATTLE RESIDENTS, WE HAVE MORE RECENTLY EMPHASIZED OUR ROLE AS A REGIONAL WORKFORCE PARTNER, PROVIDING SERVICES IN SOUTH KING COUNTY. WE ARE CURRENTLY DEVELOPING PROGRAMMING TO SUPPORT PIERCE COUNTY AND POSSIBLY OTHER REGIONS OF THE STATE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT MANY OF OUR PARTICIPANTS LACK THE EMPLOYMENT READINESS AND DIGITAL SKILLS TO SUCCEED. WE BELIEVE THAT ON-RAMPS THAT SUPPORT PARTICIPANT GROWTH, SO THAT THEY CAN PARTICIPATE IN OTHER REGIONAL PROGRAMS, SUCH AS COMMUNITY COLLEGE TRAINING ARE AN ESSENTIAL AND NEEDED COMPONENT IN OUR REGIONAL SYSTEM.
