Employment Program
Creating pathways to living-wage jobs and long-term economic stability.
Work as a Foundation for Stability
Stable employment is one of the most important factors in preventing a return to homelessness. Caritas of Austin's workforce development programs connect clients with the training, resources, and employer relationships they need to find and keep good jobs — building the economic foundation for a stable life.
Job Training
We offer job-readiness training that prepares clients for the workforce — covering interview skills, workplace expectations, professional communication, and more. Our training is tailored to each client's goals and the needs of Austin's job market.
Resume Assistance
Our staff work one-on-one with clients to develop strong resumes and cover letters that highlight their skills and experience. We help clients present themselves confidently to potential employers.
Employment Placement
We partner with local employers who are committed to hiring individuals who have experienced homelessness. These partnerships create real pathways to living-wage jobs and long-term economic stability for our clients.
