Main Menu Sub Menu Workforce Skills & Training WorkshopsAish Tamid was created to close the service gap for disenfranchised Orthodox Jewish youth in Los Angeles. Addressing the needs of youth destined for poverty level jobs due to lack of sufficient education and employment in a supportive, individualized manner is one of the central focuses of the organization The Aish Tamid Workforce Skills and Training Workshops are designed to provide student participants with a comprehensive set of transferable and essential workforce skills. Within the adolescent population, only 60 percent of high school students go to college and more than a third are back home before the end of their Freshman year. Only half of those who start ever graduate. According to the Bureau of Labor, more than 25 percent of college graduates were unable to get a job that required a degree. This statistic is even higher for disenfranchised Orthodox Jewish youth. With a lack of focus, a lack of academic skills and a lack of financial planning, many are destined to fail. The student career workshops promotes the functional skills or the marketable skills today's jobs and employers require. Subject to funding and student interest, the following workshops will be offered thru the year: JOB SKILLS COMPUTER SKILLS ADDITIONAL WORKSHOPS When appropriate, Aish Tamid will offer job skills assessment examinations which will allow participants to discover their aptitudes and abilities within employment settings. Long term career attainment is stressed. To date, The Aish Tamid Workforce Skills and Training Workshops have served hundreds of Orthodox Jewish youth located within Los Angeles. When resources, space and funding permit, Aish Tamid is happy to open workshop classes up to families of students and to other members of the public who wish to attend the workshops. If you need to get more information on this important program, please call the Aish Tamid office.
