Services
Jubilee Jobs program begins with a program orientation - an opportunity to learn what the program offers and how the job placement process works.
From there, individuals decide if the program is a fit with their needs and if the answer is yes, are scheduled for an individual job counseling session.
Orientation is held every Monday morning.
Doors open at 8:45am and we'll start the orientation at 9am.
Applicants who do not enter before 9am are late and will be invited to comeback for the next orientation.

It would be hard not to smile if you met Jubilee Jobs applicant Melveon Harp.
His booming voice and perpetual enthusiasm are an absolute delight.
Even though he's been through hard times, Melveon will always tell you that he's "good and blessed".
Melveon has worked in food service for most of his adult life.
When Melveon came to Jubilee Jobs, his job counselor knew exactly where to send him.
His experience, combined with his outgoing, cheerful personality, was a perfect match for our top employer partner, Harris Teeter.

The first step is to "come and see" with a visit to our orientation, a discussion with our founder/director, and an overview of the program (1/2 day).
After the visit, if you decide to establish a program, we will schedule a 5-day training for you at our offices in Washington, DC.
The training will teach you how to run orientation sessions for new clients, conduct intake interview, complete reference checks, conduct job application/interviews, and do job development/market calling.
You also will have the opportunity to sit in on our applicant-workshops, learn about our job retention and Move Up program, and see our database.
