Freedom construction services employment training program- in 2020, the organization opened another employment training center, called freedom construction services, llc. The purpose of the program is similar to freedom blend coffee concerning learning soft skills. In addition, participants are learning about various construction trades through classroom presentations, hands-on training and working on jobs in the field. We have also now been certified as a pre-apprentice program.
Freedom blend coffee employment training program - freedom for youth ministries launched an employment training program through a company called freedom blend coffee. Young people from our inner-city who have dropped out of school or graduated and have had trouble holding a job, are encouraged to participate in this program. Program participants will learn and develop soft skills, such as punctuality, respecting authority, communicating with co-workers and customers, in an environment that offers grace and encouragement. Over a one-year training period, participants will earn a competitive wage and gain the confidence to be successful in a full-time position. Our organization will work with outside employers to match them with graduates of our program. Our long-term goal is to break the generational poverty cycle in many families by preparing young people for long-term sustainable employment.
