The Community Jobs Project  of the Nonprofit Sector Foundation (NSF) was created to assist under-served community members in finding work within charities. We target individuals who are out of work, on unemployment, on public assistance and living in poverty. We aim to reach veterans, those recently released from prison, seniors and disadvantaged youth. Job seekers will be led through a 6-week program to obtain a job at a charity.

 

Job seekers will receive:

• Career Development – For the first two weeks, job seekers will learn to find their ideal job using The Job Loss Recovery Program (an innovative process of scientifically proven visualization techniques on retaining employment). In the future we’d like to add free community college tuition for the computer tech industry. 

 

 

 

 

 

• Job Readiness – The next two weeks, our collaborative partners and professional consultants will train on: 

​

• Creating a Dynamic Resume and Cover Letter

• Mastering the Interview

• Job Sustainability

• Mock Interviews

• Financial Literacy

• Dressing for Success on an Interview

• Communication Skills 

• Business Skills

• Personal Development Skills

• Participating in Teams

• Sales and Customer service

• Philanthropy & Volunteerism 

• Project Management Platforms

• Entrepreneurship

• Leadership

 

Once nonprofits and job seekers have completed the program, in the last two weeks, NSF will provide Job Matching Services. NSF staff will assist job seekers in learning about our Nonprofit Affiliates and their job openings. They will be given background checks and clearance prior to connecting with our affiliates.

​

Nonprofits will be given lists of job seekers interested in working at their organizations. Business sponsors who wish to hire employees from our program will also be included here.

​

Sponsors, Nonprofit Affiliates and Job Seekers will have the chance to connect at our Quarterly Job Placement Events for on the spot interviews and hiring. Our first hiring event is planned for April 22, 2017. After Placement Measurement will be conducted by NSF staff each quarter with job seekers and nonprofits to ascertain program effectiveness.
