Seeds of Success Job Training Program
Seeds of Success, a new project of Wasatch Community Gardens, is up and running! Sees of Success is focused on supporting unemployed and underemployed single moms with job training and placement.
Seeds of Success organizers are hosting a ten-week job training that is completely free to participants and will provide moms with their Certified Nursing Assistant license. The curriculum also includes skills development days taking place on the Green Team Farm, where moms will learn to grow their own food while developing essential job skills. The Seeds of Success team will work to find the right job placement for each mom with different shift options in hospitals, home health, assisted living, or long-term care facilities.
To find out more about this amazing project, plan to attend and Information Meeting for interested moms on March 20 from 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm at the Sorenson Unity Center, 1383 S 900 W. There is also a Facebook event for the info meeting. https://www.facebook.
