PROGRAMS / WORKFORCE READINESS

Workforce Readiness & Economic Advancement

We equip McDougall-Hunt residents with the digital skills, certifications, and career connections needed to access living-wage employment and build economic independence.

Skills That Open Doors

Economic opportunity shouldn't depend on your zip code. Our workforce programs meet residents where they are — providing free digital literacy training, job readiness workshops, and connections to employers who are actively hiring.

From Google Workspace basics to advanced certifications, our Innovation Lab at The Hub gives residents the tools they need to compete in today's economy.

We believe that workforce development is neighborhood development. When residents earn more, they spend more locally, stabilize their housing, and invest in their community.
