Finding steady employment is a cornerstone of financial stability. We help individuals cross over barriers to employment, and once employed, we help individuals maintain their status.
United Ministries’ education and employment services exist to 1.) enhance work qualifications through GED and skills training, and 2.) provide personalized pathways toward finding and keeping a stable job.

Most Adult Education and Employment Readiness participants come to United Ministries facing a variety of obstacles, especially issues with financial stability. After obtaining a GED and/or securing steady employment, the hard work of achieving financial stability really begins. Participants continue to meet with and keep in contact with their counselors at United Ministries who assist with building on the employability, financial, and personal effectiveness skills development begun in our programs.
