Workforce Readiness

We have two programs under the banner of Workforce Development. Our C2C@Work program is for companies that have employees who are high-potential but locked out of promotions because of a lack of basic academic and/or vocational skills. If you own a company and would like to have a class at your workplace for FREE, please contact gabriel@LearnWithC2C.org. If you are a student who is looking for a job or a better job, our Ramp to a Better Workplace program offers everything from workshops to getting paired up with a mentor who will help get job-ready.

Community Coaching

Community Coaching is an 8 week program in which our advanced ESL and GED/College Prep students are paired with a volunteer community coach, an experienced professional, who can assist with a specific academic or professional goal. Students work with the community coach throughout the program on incremental steps each week to reach their goals, whether that’s finding a job or applying to a continuing education program. The role of the coach ranges from guiding students through drafting a resume to helping connect them to scholarship search engines to navigating the FAFSA.
