Working with organizations and companies that desire to bridge the gap between the marginalized job seeker and the employer, which creates a stronger community connection. Transition to work training is a successful career development and placement program that successfully bridges the gap between the job seeker and the employer. Hope Empowerment Foundation works in conjunction with community agencies, employers and the job seeking community in a way that allows deeper conversations about work and the expectations of the employer. Bridging the skill gap can only happen when employers agree to employ job seekers from all parts of the community. Low skilled job seekers are eager to work and gain experience with the goal of improving their self-sufficiency.

Building of a Successful Workforce Development “BASIC” training is developed with the employer in mind. Its focus is the education and the skill set of the client and how to marry that with the needs of the employer: how to meet them and create the best asset they can be for the company. Relationships are vital to establishing community credibility, community engagement and solutions to community improvement.

We specialize in employment development for under-prepared inner-city residents. Our clients are eager and ready to work and would welcome the opportunity to work with your company. We understand what companies are looking for and each client is required to complete a 40-hour job readiness program in addition to the six week workforce development training.

Equal opportunity employment is the law. Diversity is not limited to race, gender, sexual orientation and religion, but rather expanding that to include age and community friendly initiatives. Hope Empowerment Foundation helps employers create pathways for job seekers who have the need to return to the workplace after retirement!

Diversity is more than opening opportunities not based on race, creed, sexual orientation and religion. The pipeline from the community to the corporation includes employing those from lower socio-economic communities, the reentry population and the “seasoned” job seeker. Hiring From A Diverse Community Can Be A Challenge. With the lower skilled disenfranchised and uneducated client, there can be many barriers – transportation, child care, timeliness. Hope Empowerment Foundation creates a strong support network for clients seeking employment from some of the most economically depressed communities. We provide support, retention, coaching and are change agents for those wanting to make a change in their lives.

Creating a diverse workforce creates community, increases communication, and celebrates equality. Hope Empowerment Foundation supports each step of this process.

Retirement isn’t what it used to be. Older job seekers bring plenty of experience to the workplace; however, there can be challenges to merging the boomer generation with the millennial workforce. Boomers want commitment, longevity and relationships and millennial’s are tech-savvy, socially lacking and change jobs every few years. Hope Empowerment Foundation provides integration training that allows companies to blend the generations seamlessly.
