Neighborhood Job Center

MEDA will coordinate the delivery of neighborhood-based employment services in program models that already offer a variety of services that strengthen communities and support residents in achieving economic stability and general well-being. Many low-income job seekers require more than workforce services to achieve economic stability. Workforce services are critical to economic stability, but individuals and families may need help from additional education and supportive services in order to succeed. We seek to provide a range of integrated services to low-income individuals and families to help them along the path to economic security.

In addition to existing program offerings, Neighborhood Job Center serves as a point of entry into the public workforce system and as a dedicated Employment and training liaison. MEDA's Neighborhood Job Center will :

• Provide wrap-around support and related services to assist job seekers in addressing and overcoming significant barriers to employment.
• Prepare and support low-income residents in building their foundation skills and proficiency in core workplace competencies, including work preparedness skills.
