The Arlington Housing Authority's Family Self Sufficiency team, assisted by Housing Specialists, held a job fair today for clients in Homeless Services Programs and those participating in the Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) Program.
Employers included Southwest Airlines, Amazon, Walmart, Mouser Electronics, 24-7 Staffing, Home Depot, UPS and many more.
The Family Self-Sufficiency Program assists eligible families in becoming economically self-sufficient members of the community. As part of the voluntary five-year program, participants establish individual goals, which must include full-time employment. The FSS staff will coach participants to help in achieving those goals.
The FSS program provides the following services:
- Educational assessment, academic remediation, and GED preparation.
- Self-esteem and assertiveness training.
- Vocational assessment.
- Employment and job search training.
- Reimbursement for job related expenses.
- Budgeting skills training.
- Gasoline allowance and minor car repair assistance (limited).
