Workforce Development
We’re with you. We’re with you throughout your workforce development process … from start to success. We’re here to answer that question and any others that come up. Our Workforce Development Navigators will guide you whether you’re unemployed and looking for work, or if you already have a job but want a better one.
Much more than jobs, and more like a lifetime friendship.
This is your Urban League. The Greater Stark County Urban League has been part of the community for more than 100 years. Our Navigators come from the community and work in the community. We speak your language and never speak down to you. That’s because we’re here to elevate your life, to build you up like the friends that we are.
CAREER NAVIGATORS
Our Workforce Development Program helps individuals gain the skills and support needed to find meaningful employment and long-term stability. Through career coaching and job readiness workshops, participants build strong foundations for success. At the core is S.O.A.R. (Success, Opportunity, Achievement, Resilience), a career readiness program focused on employment skills, financial and digital literacy, and personal growth.
