Work First staff is <br /> working to strategically identify partners who have a staffing need in positions with higher wages <br /> that can be resolved by providing Work First clients with appropriate training. Placing potential <br /> applicants at the organization for work experience prior to sending them to training allows the <br /> partner organization an opportunity to evaluate clients. This makes the organization much more <br /> likely to hire a Work First client once the training is complete.
