When someone comes to stay at Jackson Interfaith Shelter, securing a job—if they don’t already have one—is one of the first things we help them work toward. We’re grateful for Michigan Works Southeast, an organization working to connect job seekers with employment opportunities in their area. Establishing consistent income and saving that income toward a down payment on an apartment is crucial.
Michigan Works! Southeast recently shared that there are 836 active job openings in Jackson County right now. Their Career Advisors are available to meet with job seekers and guide them in their journey to employment. For individuals enrolled in their MSWE program, they help them overcome any barriers which keep them from gainful employment, such as further training, obtaining a high school diploma, resume and computer workshops, interview clothing allowance, daycare assistance and even help with rent, utilities or transportation when available.
If you or someone you know is looking for work, we encourage you to contact Michigan Works! Southeast, today. Their friendly and knowledgeable team members are eager to connect you to great career opportunities. You can also search jobs directly through their website: https://www.mitalent.org/

The food pantry on the corner of Smith and Railroad, in Rives, has a few more items!
I also added a few copies of my second book in The Grooming Awareness Series, Not Just Us Two-focusing on adults isolating children.
Enjoy!☀️
