Our sector-based training

Job Coaching
Individual planning and case management services that help clients meet their unique educational and occupational goals.

Job Readiness Training
Training services that prepare job seekers for work experience and employment, focusing on honing resume/cover letter writing, interview and job search skills.

Financial Capability Integration
Financial education classes and coaching that build the skills necessary to achieve economic self-sufficiency.

Job Placement
Services that support job seekers to conduct an effective employment search, plus direct connections to appropriate employment opportunities.

Retention Services
Follow up support, to ensure economic success, for clients who are already working and/or in educational activities.

Supportive Services
Referral assistance to guide eligible clients to other supportive services: childcare; transportation; asset building; and other workforce programs. As a result of our service integration efforts, over 80% of MEDA staff believes that we have already improved our direct services. Clients are referred to programs at partner organizations or within MEDA.
