Workforce Development Program
In a world where people are moving from one unfortunate situation to another, it’s important that we have the resources available for them! The Workforce Development Program here at the YMI Cultural Center we work with individuals who are unemployed or underemployed and want an opportunity at success for not only their personal goals, but also those they care deeply about. We connect clients with resources to address barriers through our community partnerships!
