HARVESTING HOPE
Workforce Training and Skills
- On-the-job training for 15 men and women who work and gain skills in our Trenton Client Choice pantry.
- Skills learned include customer service, safe food handling and certification, product presentation, shelving and inventory.
- Guided job search, online applications, interview preparation, and life skills mentoring. (William Franklin, above, recently received his SafeServ certificate after scoring a 90 out of 100 on the certification test. He has submitted online job applications to a variety of area employers and is eager to get to work!)
- Academic tutoring in math and language skills are provided by certified teachers as needed by potential employers or further education goals.
- Harvesting Hope graduates have been hired at Home Depot, A Stitch Ahead, Lowe's, NJ Department of Taxation, On-the-Border Mexican Grill, Wiley's Sweeping and Cleaning, Lord & Taylor, and ShopRite supermarket.
- Some graduates have gone on to further their training in health care and other fields.
Many Harvesting Hope grads return to the Crisis Ministry as volunteers. Having regained their self-determination and their footing, they are eager to give back.
