Job Ready MV

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted the economy and the livelihoods of many, including the residents of Mount Vernon. In response to these challenges, we will be providing comprehensive job readiness workshops and soft skills training to individuals in need. Our focus is on equipping participants with the essential skills and knowledge necessary to enhance their employability, support their career development, and assist in their recovery from the pandemic's effects. By fostering economic development ecosystems and promoting racial equity, this initiative aims to uplift our community and pave the way for a more resilient and prosperous future for all.

Empowering Mount Vernon residents with the skills to thrive in a post-pandemic world.

Job readiness training equips individuals seeking employment with the tools they need to secure and maintain a job. This training covers everything from preparing a resume and cover letter to understanding appropriate attire and conducting oneself professionally during an interview. It provides crucial support for individuals in their job search journey.

We assist Mount Vernon Residents who are eager to work by helping them become "job ready" and prepare for employment and job retention. Many people aspire to work but may have been out of the workforce due to the effects of COVID-19 and other challenges. Their resumes may be outdated, their interviewing skills may need refreshing, and other factors might make securing a job difficult. For those individuals, the Urban League of Westchester is here to provide a helping hand.
