Barriers That Many Encounter
-
Limited access to guidance: Many job seekers struggle to write resumes, prepare for interviews, or know where to look for opportunities.
-
Economic hardship: Homelessness and unstable housing make it harder to focus on long-term goals like employment and education.
-
Skill gaps: Young people often graduate without practical knowledge in areas such as financial literacy, workplace communication, and problem-solving.
-
Lack of mentorship: Without role models and support systems, individuals may feel unprepared and isolated in pursuing their goals.
Why Career and Life Readiness Is Essential
When people are prepared for both career and life responsibilities, they are more likely to secure stable jobs, build self-sufficiency, and break free from cycles of hardship. Research has shown that employment stability improves overall well-being, reduces homelessness, and strengthens communities by giving individuals the tools to contribute meaningfully to society.
