2019 TAKE THE STEP
Tuesday, October 22
from 10 am to 2 pm
St. Louis Baptist Church
4000 Frankston Hwy.

The event provides practical information and resources to individuals who face barriers to employment. A brief intake, assessment, and referral process will be utilized to identify each individual’s barriers and have them meet with agencies like yours that are able to assist them.

We are inviting agencies that provide services to help remove barriers broadly defined as:

Personal and financial
Emotional and physical
Career decision-making and planning
Job-seeking knowledge
Training and education

Additional detail on Employment Barriers.

Making it accessible:

It is difficult for us to anticipate the number of participants, but we are ensuring the event is accessible by providing transportation and childcare.
