Lawrenceville Job-Training Partnership (LJTP) WorkWell helps the formerly incarcerated find meaningful employment and stable lives to fulfill its mission: Working together to equip returning citizens with job skills, dignity, and hope. WorkWell, features a 4-week intensive job-training program applicable to any type of employment, emphasizing the basic knowledge and attitudinal/behavioral modifications needed to secure and retain employment. Lawrenceville Job-Training Partnership (LJTP) worked with staff members from Uplift, a successful Philadelphia-based reentry nonprofit, to adapt its broad-based job-training model to the needs of the Trenton area. WorkWell operates in a facility rented from the First Presbyterian Church in Trenton, a location easily accessible to Trenton area residents. WorkWell provides the following to each participant: - Job skills training with an expert trainer/coach - One-on-one and group mentoring - Transportation subsidy and a weekly stipend - A group meal each training day - Employment search, resume writing, application assistance, and interview experience - Case management to address social services needs - Assistance from organizational partners to address and provide referral assistance for common post-release challenges such as housing, health insurance, lack of identification and driver's license, SNAP benefits, utility assistance, and free tax preparation.
