How WFC’s Open DOHR Program helps CT businesses and families
The WFC’s Open DOHR Program prepares young adults for the demands of today’s marketplace. As jobs are getting more demanding, we find that some youth are being left behind. To fill that gap, WFC’s Open DOHR sets up participants in their programs to get the better paying jobs which in turn benefits their family and provides life long value.
In addition, WFC’s Open DOHR program helps local businesses and in particular manufacturing companies who often find it difficult to hire skilled labor. WFC will work with these businesses to either find the right candidate for the open positions that they have or will create a custom program to train students to be the next generation of skilled labor workers.
When we focus on creating better opportunities and better pay for our underserved youth, we all benefit as a community.
