ABOUT WORKFORCE READINESS ADVANCEMENT & PLACEMENT, INC

Workforce Readiness Advancement & Placement (WRAP) is an intensive job and career-readiness program, infused with leadership and transferable skills which is designed to prepare youth ages 16-25 for their successful entry into the workforce. WRAP is a deliberate effort to ending the cycle of poverty within the youth population in economically deprived communities. In order to break the cycle of poverty, which is a known factor of youth violence in any community, there needs to be a deliberate attempt at providing for economic self-sufficiency amongst the youth population. WRAP services provide a bridge between high school and the workforce. As such, we specialize in teaching 21st century workforce skills which are essential to ensuring an effortless transition into the workplace. At WRAP, we don’t only prepare participants for workforce success; we go a step further and place them in the best-fit job sites based on their career interests, while creating a WIN-WIN for both employers and program participants.

WRAP PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Professionalism is not just about one’s attire or demeanor; it is about how one presents and conducts themselves in a professional setting. To that end, the WRAP program is designed to help participants develop the skills and qualities that make them a standout candidate. Furthermore, navigating the world of job and internship opportunities can be a daunting task, especially for first-time job seekers. Through intentional approaches we break down the job search and application process into manageable steps and tasks. WRAP guides participants through the process of self-discovery, career exploration, and goal setting, equipping them with the skills and strategies to land the best-fit job or internship. In sum, the job search process requires a combination of skills and strategies as such, the WRAP program equips participants with the tools and techniques to effectively research, apply for, and interview for job and internship opportunities.

WRAP’s mission is to break the cycle of poverty and increase employment rate amongst the age group 16-25 in economically deprived communities by building a pipeline of well-trained workforce participants who are equipped with marketable, employable, career-focused and professional skills which ultimately will lead to job attainment and financial self-sustainability.

WRAP’s vision is to significantly increase the number of employed youth in underserved communities within the age group 16-25, who are in need of effective and impactful workforce training and best-fit placement, thus producing economically self-sufficient individuals and contributing members of society.

WRAP is intentionally designed to prepare, engage and empower youth ages 16-25 for their successful transition into the workforce, thus increasing their participation in the workplace and preventing them from dropping out of life.
