    YMCA Training, Inc. seeks to provide pathways to employment that offer family-supporting wages and benefits to unemployed and underemployed adults in Greater Boston. We provide job skills training and employment assistance in close collaboration with the business community.

    The program is 12-weeks long with 8 additional weeks of supported job search. The 12-weeks include 3 hours weekly of career management curriculum, that includes supporting trainees in building their job search portfolio. With a Graduate Services Specialist and an Employment Development Manager on our team, we are able to provide online, structured job search with trainees and graduates. Job search activities include identification of job openings, application completion assistance, resume and cover letter support, follow-up, preparation for phone screening, preparation for interview(s), thank you letters, and coaching on job acceptance.

    Our staff strives to support our trainees and graduates every step of the way to employment, and work collaboratively with our employer partners such as Boston Housing Authority, Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston Medical Center, Bove & Lange, and The Metropolitan Council for Educational Opportunity.
