A Step Toward Economic Mobility

Employment assistance is not only about getting the next job.

For some participants, the next step may be gaining additional skills, improving English, earning a certification, advancing into a better position, or eventually starting a business.

SSA's workforce programs are designed to help participants identify those next steps and connect with appropriate opportunities.
