Success Stories
WERCshops
Our WERCshop series is a FREE, program designed to boost participants’ confidence and employability in a supportive, hands-on environment. In this interactive experience, attendees explore a range of workplace fundamentals—such as communication, customer service, emotional intelligence, time management, diversity, inclusion, and employer expectations—while engaging in real-life simulations and tasks tailored to different career paths including administration, community services. The curriculum also includes introductory computer skills training and a food handler’s certification, plus opportunities to integrate new skills into resumes and interview practice. By program’s end, participants typically gain deeper self-awareness, practical experience, potential volunteer credentials, and a renewed sense of confidence to navigate their job search
