Training, Coaching and Skills Development

Our STEP Employers benefit from reaching a pool of trained, skilled, and dependable candidates to hire, contributing to reduce turnover rates and associated recruitment and training costs.
Our STEP participants will advance their soft skills through our pre-employment training program and gain certification training essential to entry-level positions within the selected industry.
