Job Reintroduction
Being unemployed can be a very difficult time. The longer you are out of work the harder it becomes to find a job. Staying active and networking can be a difficult task for many people. For those that find themselves homeless it is even more difficult. The Opportunity Center offers the long-term unemployed a hand up in the job hunt.
