CRP's Workforce Development Programs empower youth and adults to identify and reach personal career goals through a variety of educational, vocational and career preparation programs.

SonomaWORKS is a structured, four to six week supervised job search program designed to assist adult participants with the conceptual and practical aspects of a career plan approach to finding, obtaining, keeping and advancing in unsubsidized employment.  Participants are immersed in an atmosphere of self-discovery that focuses on the individual's strengths and highlights their accomplishments.  Each participant is guided toward career building, including identifying basic skills, interests and attitudes, and provided with the tools necessary for a successful job search and job acquisition.  Activities include job readiness, resume writing, and setting career goals.  Life skills training such as personal budgeting and money management, organizational skills, time management, parenting skills, stress and anger management will also be taught as part of the overall curriculum.  Specific eligibility guidelines apply.  Contact John Ward at 838-6641, x 220 for information.

Young Adult Employment and Education Services assists youth in becoming successful community members through goal setting and career coaching.  Youth ages 16-21 receive consultation and support towards making career decisions, applying for work and exploring training opportunities.  Case managers can provide information on job openings, referrals to supportive services and award incentives for reaching program goals.  This program makes a special effort to reach high school drop-outs and graduates who are in need of employment and training opportunities.  Specific eligibility guidelines apply. Contact Monique Evans at 838-6641, x 251, mevans@crpinc.org for information.  Click here for program brochure.
