Options
Options, NCS’s vocational, education, and employment program, 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
Computer classes and an open computer lab with set-up and access to phones, internet, fax, voicemail, and email
Employment research support
Assistance with resumes, cover letters, and applications
Interview preparation including coaching, referrals, and proper attire
Career development and job readiness workshops
Because keeping the job is often a greater barrier than landing the job for our clients, the holistic approach we employ 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 clients overcome obstacles and ensure long-term success.
