EmploymentWorks Virtual is an “instructor led online program” that supports safe, uninterrupted access to employment preparedness training with no barriers to participation due to geography, transportation or the pandemic.

  • The program is offered in a variety of different formats ranging from 4 weeks to 10 weeks in duration, and includes 60 hours of guided employment readiness training, application and practice. Sessions focus on social, communication and job skills development in a facilitated group-based online setting. Career exploration and experiential learning occurs in simulated workplace environments using highly interactive job simulations, custom job previews, scenario based learning videos, and curated resources.
