Building Skills Workshop Presenters – As part of the CTCwm program, clients are asked to attend four skill building workshops, facilitated by CTCwm coaches/mentors.  Topics include:

Weekly Peer Group Facilitators – Clients are encouraged to attend weekly peer group sessions. The groups are intended to help clients maintain progress in their job search efforts by sharing "Success Stories, Lessons Learned, and Best Practices," at a weekly check-in opportunity. Clients hold each other accountable, share ideas and leads, celebrate successes and encourage each other in times of rejection, disappointment or temporary malaise
