Tech Dump: Adult Training Specialist VISTA (EMERGE)
 
 
 
Jobs are the foundation to financial independence. Tech Dump provides job training and practical experience for adults facing barriers to employment that prepares them to be more valuable employees with expanding futures. Our operating principles reflect our commitment to solving the challenges adults face when they lack job experience or have a past that makes them "unemployable" to other employers (the majority of our clients, who are also our staff, have a history of incarceration and/or addiction). We provide opportunities for people who want to work and invest in themselves to earn a new reputation and a successful future for themselves and their families. The paid, 18 month on-the-job training program focuses on supporting adults facing barriers to employment and preparing them to be valuable employees with expanding futures. Graduates go on secure permanent, full-time positions at Tech Dump or other organizations, leading to self-sufficiency and career growth. As a social enterprise, we do this by providing jobs through recycling and refurbishing electronics with our Tech Dump division. Employees test reusable items, destroy personal data, refurbish, breakdown electronics, and sell them online. The proceeds from this process fund our workforce development program. This position is part of the Emerge VISTA program and will be placed at Tech Dump/Jobs Foundation in St Paul, MN. Learn more at: https://www.techdump.org/
