Empowering through Employment
At the CHATT Foundation, we are committed to empowering individuals on their journey to self-sufficiency through comprehensive employment support and job training programs. Our initiatives are designed to equip participants with the necessary skills and resources to secure and maintain meaningful employment.

Our employment case manager provides personalized assistance in various areas, including:
Resume Building: Crafting effective resumes that highlight participants' skills and experiences.
Job Fairs: Facilitating access to employment opportunities through organized events.

Through intensive case management services, clients are empowered to find and sustain employment, leading to self-sufficiency and personal growth.
Onsite Job Training Programs
We offer part-time, temporary employment opportunities across five distinct tracks, providing practical experience and skill development:
Hospitality: Participants gain experience in customer service and facility management.
Kitchen Readiness: Trainees learn both hard skills in cooking and soft skills like customer service, culminating in a ServSafe Food Handler's certification and a graduation ceremony.
Retail: Hands-on training in sales, inventory management, and customer relations.
Janitorial: Instruction in cleaning protocols and maintenance procedures.
Warehousing/Recycling: Experience in logistics, inventory control, and sustainable practices.
One of our largest programs is the Kitchen Readiness track, where participants work alongside our kitchen staff, earning while they search for long-term employment. Our case managers are available to provide more information and support throughout this process.
Success Stories
We take pride in the achievements of our program graduates. Many have transitioned into stable employment, with some joining our staff, exemplifying the success and sustainability of our initiatives.
At the CHATT Foundation, we believe that with the right support and opportunities, every individual can achieve their employment goals and build a brighter future.
