Work Readiness
We value our relationship with Endeavors and we want to keep it strong. I think [Endeavors] is one of the few agencies and local partnerships that has a very good potential of lowering recidivism.

Our flagship program is a 60-hour work-readiness course that reinforces positive behaviors (such as collegiality, timeliness, dependability, and productivity) and teaches the interpersonal and problem solving skills that are needed on any job.
Participants earn a Work Readiness Certificate (WRC), create a job search package, and gain access tour network of employers. Classes are taught by a combination of volunteers from various companies and CEi staff.
