WORKFORCE

Workforce Development programs are influential in supporting robust economies and producing a high-quality workforce valued by employers. At Passage Home, the Workforce Development program is intended to provide services that help individuals enter and advance in the workplace through job placement assistance, training and education, and assist employers with recruitment and training opportunities.

The exponential increase in Wake County’s population has created additional workforce needs and demands in key sector industries. Industries such as Culinary, Highway Workers (DOT), Warehouse Logistics, HVAC, Guest Room Attendants, and other industries that help support the infrastructure of the community.

Through established relationships with participants, employers, state and local training providers, and community partnerships we can provide trainings that lead to industry recognized certificates and ensure adequate skills and preparation for the workforce. Along with credentials, eligible participants can also receive housing stability and life skills case management services.

We currently are looking to expand in high demand industries sectors as well as continue to build workforce collaborations with community partners in an effort to bring additional workforce training to Wake County.

If you are interested in advancing your educational or employment career or looking for a new partnership opportunity with Passage Home, please contact Darren Moore

What is Career Path A career path is a series of jobs that help you progress towards your goals and objectives. Your career path includes the jobs you’ll need to hit your ultimate career goal, but it doesn’t need to follow a straight line. There’s no blueprint or timetable for climbing the career ladder.  Career paths traditionally imply vertical growth or advancement to higher-level positions, but they can also include lateral (sideways) movement within or across industries.
