The Job Placement department at TEEM is committed to educating and training our students for long-term, successful employment. After completing Career Development Workshop, students have the option to enroll in job training classes or take advantage of our job placement department. Students that attend ‘Ready For Work’ classes are equipped with the tools and information to successfuly find employment. Our commitment to success goes beyond removing the barrier of joblessness. We strive to help our students build confidence, live purposefully and put and end to the cycle of poverty.
