Are you a Maryland resident currently seeking employment? Boost your job readiness at one of Grow Home’s monthly intensive Workforce Development training events!

Day 1 of this 2-day training includes our Workforce 101 job readiness training and a Financial Wellness workshop on everyday money management. Our dedicated staff members can help you register for SNAP benefits and plan the next steps on your job-seeking journey.

On Day 2, you’ll learn strategies for a successful resume and have a chance to work on your own resume with guidance from Grow Home’s experienced instructors. In the afternoon, you’ll complete our forklift operator course (no previous experience needed!) and get officially forklift certified. 

You can attend Day 1, Day 2, or both days. Note that forklift certification is only available on Day 2.
