Job Opportunities and Basic Skills
The Job Opportunities and Basic Skills (JOBS) program enables individuals to make the transition from public assistance to self-sufficiency. To participate, students must be referred by the Oregon Department of Human Services. Students work with college faculty to develop individual programs that help prepare them for full-time, unsubsidized employment.
Instructional areas include:
- Life and career planning
- Adult basic education
- Short-term, intensive professional/technical training
- Work site training
- Job search instruction
- Job retention
- Career development
Staff members work closely with other college departments and community organizations to provide educational, professional, technical, and counseling services as part of their comprehensive job training and educational programs.
