JVS Boston’s Career Path Now (CPN) program is a one-on-one career development program. Clients work with their own dedicated career coach to plan for their future. The coaches assist with planning training, education, and career goals, helping enrolled clients break through the barriers that are preventing them from achieving success. Clients can get assistance with resumes, job applications, and interview skills, as well as gaining access to JVS’s internal resources for free training certifications and financial coaching. Weekly meetings can be in-person or remote, based on what fits your schedule best. If you’re looking for a new or better job, let JVS’s CPN program help you get there.
Additionally, Career Path Now coaches can help clients implement a plan to meet the ABAWD Work rules, if necessary.
