Empower Training Program Description

The Empower Training Program is a two week training program designed to bridge the gap between job seeker and employer by enhancing skills in human relations, Microsoft for the workplace, and career preparation. This two week training program is intensive and delivers comprehensive, hands-on experiences, activities, and career exploration that prepare job seekers for the next step of the job search.

Human Relation Skills

The importance of fine-tuning one’s human relation skills is vital in the career search. Empower Training is geared to provide job seekers a foundation in the areas of communication, customer service, judgment, and organization.

Microsoft for the Workplace

The goal for training on Microsoft for the workplace is to ensure job seekers have more than a basic proficiency using the Internet, Microsoft Windows, and Microsoft Office Suite applications like Word, Excel, and Outlook as these are prominent skill requirements of most employers.

Career Preparation

Goodwill Industries of Central Arizona understands that one of the main reasons a job seeker is taking part in Empower Training is to be better prepared for the job search and future employment. For this reason, the major highlight of Empower Training is focused on career preparation and includes courses dedicated to professionalism, business etiquette, and developing an individualized job search plan.

At the culmination of Empower Training, the job seeker will have a portfolio that includes a cover letter, general resume, thank you letter, and skills that can be applied both personally and professionally well beyond training.
