Gateway to Jobs

Our Gateway to Jobs program offers clients a chance to break the cycle of homelessness by improving their employment skills and finding permanent employment.  Experienced vocational counselors screen, assess, and offer job search and placement assistance, as well as teach participants the work ethics, habits and behaviors necessary to retain employment.

Gateway to Jobs also provides employers with applicants who understand the standards of performance required to earn a paycheck.  Family Gateway seeks to serve as a quality-controlled “one-stop shopping” point for potential employers.  Vocational counselors partner with several Dallas employers to offer stable, meaningful employment to Family Gateway’s program participants.

Customer Service Training

Open to clients who have successfully completed Gateway to Jobs, the Customer Service Training program offers a 20-hour class and 40 hours of on-the-job training in our Family Treasures Resale Shop or a local business.  Skills necessary to maintain employment and specific customer services and retail skills are reinforced.

Gateway to Jobs helps parents find meaningful employment.
