What We Do
When it comes to choosing a career path or finding a new job, many people tend to feel overwhelmed as they don’t know what to do or who can help them. At CMJTS, we give you the skills needed to find a new job and access to a whole network of employers. That way, you can stop stressing and finally have the confidence to find meaningful employment.
We work side by side with businesses in our area to build inclusivity in our communities and expand job offerings and opportunities for our job seekers.
What Makes Us Unique
Not only do jobseekers — adults, youth, entry-level, career-changers, low-income, unemployed and underemployed workers — count on us for professional career guidance based on their individual circumstances, economic self-sufficiency needs, and local labor market demands. But businesses in our communities count on us for qualified workers to fill their job positions.
