Options

Options helps individuals overcome barriers to employment and progress toward a career that provides a living wage and growth over time.

Resources available to Options clients include:

  • Tutoring and test prep support

  • College application assistance and financial scholarships

  • Connections to training programs

  • Computer training and an open computer lab

  • Employment research support

  • Job placement assistance

  • Assistance with resumes, cover letters, and applications

  • Interview preparation including coaching, referrals, and proper attire

  • Career development and job readiness workshops

Because keeping a job is often a greater barrier than landing a job for our clients, our holistic approach addresses soft skills such as difficulties with social skills and workplace expectations, anger management, learning disabilities, managing routine stress and anxiety, and fear of failure that often undermine our clients' workplace experiences.

NCS builds relationships with local employers to help clients secure jobs, and we continue working with both the client and the employer to help our youth overcome obstacles and ensure long-term success.

Options celebrates clients’ successes at all levels, runs inspiring programs, and forges relationships with the clients to foster trust.
