Employment and Adult Education

We help people find and keep meaningful employment at livable wages. For some, this means earning their first paycheck in the United States and taking their first step toward self-sufficiency. For others, it means finding a much better job. 

Job training and career services: Starting a career for life
We help people gain new skills for the workplace, seek out better-paying positions and prepare for job interviews. For those who need it, we provide funding for community college classes and vocational education programs. To ensure that employees excel in their new jobs once their placed, our counselors stay in touch for a full year, helping them improve job-related skills, resolve workplace issues, earn raises and develop a positive relationship with their employer.

ESL for jobs: A fresh start for a new country
This intensive ESL class in White Center teaches new English speakers the communication skills they'll need in the workplace. We help our students land jobs in a variety of fields and, for a year following employment, we provide assistance to help them keep them. 

Rainier Vista Technology Center: Getting ahead with the help of technology
Our computer center is a place for learning and confidence building. In the heart of the Rainier Vista community, we offer multilingual classes in basic computer skills, ESL, adult literacy and job seeking. We introduce many first-time computer users to the wonders of technology and help teenagers expand their skills.
