Project Employment

OIC's Project Employment provides training and employment support services to ex-offenders and their families as they re-integrate into the community and assist them in becoming productive, responsible citizens.

Basic life and self-management skills are stressed as necessary to securing and maintaining employment or any other social relationship. Many possible barriers to employment are dealt with during the classes.

  • Bus tickets are supplied for classes and job search.
  • Students receive all class materials for further review and use.
  • Clients are assisted by knowledgeable staff in their job search.
Follow-up with each client is provided for least one year, as well as ongoing support for updating resumes, reference sheets, cover letters and job search help.

ALL Project Employment participants are required to attend the program's Employability Skills workshop in order to receive on-going services and support.
