‘’Put in the Work” will conduct training activities and counseling at the West Side Community Center in Asbury Park. A community-based instruction program will be implemented, which will help residents acquire the skills necessary to gain employment within a variety of industries. They aim to support the workers’ attainment of careers in the fields that will provide them with skills in high-demand careers of now and the future (green jobs). In conjunction with strategic industry and government partners, residents will learn to contribute to the workforce while ensuring healthy community sustainability practices. Students who participate will receive an individually tailored assessment to address participation barriers and wrap-around services. Each student is expected to progress at their own pace and ability. The program would be made available for all Asbury Park residents and surrounding communities which includes both afluent to environmental justice populations across the region.
