NEW START RECONNECT: NSCN's Partnership with NJ's Community Colleges and Ready to Work

NSCN has a strategic partnership with the New Jersey Community College Consortium (NJCCC) called New Start Reconnect, which was established to help NSCN members connect to NJCCC's Ready to Work New Jersey program, which includes access to wage reimbursements up to $10,000 for NJ businesses that hire qualified job seekers as well as support for job training.

If you are a long-term unemployed job seeker, you may be eligible to register for Ready to Work and take advantage of the program's many resources, including a free,  2-day Job Readiness Workshop, which is the first step to accessing the program's job training resources. 

During the workshop, you will learn:
  • How to write and improve your cover letter and resume to catch a hiring manager's interest; 
  • Tips and techniques for interviewing once you get your foot in the door; and 
  • How to improve your networking and social media presence.
