About Training Futures

Training Futures prepares low-income, unemployed or under paid individuals to make the move from dead-end jobs or sporadic employment to stable, professional office careers which provide livable wages, benefits and opportunities for professional and personal advancement.

Training Futures was launched in 1996 and has since trained over 1,500 people from diverse backgrounds and experience. Over 89% of graduates have secured full time employment in an office environment. The employment rate of graduates far exceeds those of other national programs, placing Training Futures in the top performing echelon.

Training Futures is an innovative 25 week curriculum in a simulated office environment. The program has two primary goals:
  1. To meet the needs of metropolitan area employers who seek qualified entry level workers.
  2. To help under-employed or unemployed people secure a rewarding career, potential for professional advancement and permanent employment.

The Training Futures curriculum teaches computer skills, business English, business math, keyboarding, filing, professional development workshops, medical terminology and business communication skills. Trainees receive performance reviews and are expected to dress professionally, arrive on time, complete office assignments and interact professionally with staff and fellow trainees. Trainees are also provided one-on-one support during their job search with assistance in resume writing, interviewing and business etiquette.

Additionally, trainees gain valuable direct business work experience through the internship program. This program provides interns to local businesses and hospitals within the community, who can provide an environment that supports additional exposure for trainees.
