Career Development
Employer-Customized Training
We tailor our employment services to meet the needs of businesses and high-growth sectors by monitoring trends in economic development and working with employers to fulfill their staffing requirements. We provide training and certification in industries such as transportation, health, telecommunications, service and construction.
Job Placement
We build solid relationships with a large number of Bronx employers through our business assistance programs, as well as through our career fairs and community events. Employers approach us confident that we can consistently connect them with trained and qualified employees who are actively seeking work. Over the years, we have formed long-lasting relationships with close to 400 tri-state area businesses, many of which regularly return to us for quality employees. Such companies include, Cablevision, Progressive Healthcare, Wildlife Conservation Society and Fed Ex, amongst others.
Employment Readiness
We help our clients overcome the common obstacles to securing employment by providing training in resume writing and interviewing skills, as well as attitudinal and pre-employment training that emphasizes professionalism and performance. We also incorporate financial literacy instruction in every program to enable participants to successfully manage their finances once they find work.
Low-Income Benefits Assistance
We aim to support our clients’ efforts to sustain themselves while preparing for employment. SoBRO screens clients for benefits eligibility for more than 23 different benefits programs and provides assistance with the claims process.
Career Counseling
New clients participate in an assessment to establish their employment history, education, general skill level, and what they hope to gain from our center. Once we ascertain our clients’ needs and goals, we either guide them through our job placement process or recommend that they enroll in any number of our education and/or career programs. We also provide career resources, such as resume writing and interview guides, lists of New York-area employers and information on how to use the Internet for a job search.
