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

Day 1 of this 2-day training includes our Workforce 101 job readiness training and forklift certification (no previous experience needed!). 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 resume with guidance from Grow Home’s experienced instructors. Then MECU will join us for a workshop on everyday money management.

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