Information for Job Seekers
The King County Jobs Initiative offers the following services free of charge, if you're eligible:
Account Executives will work with you to assess your job skills and determine
what services you might need. They will then help you identify possible
jobs or job training options.
KCJI offers job training and job opportunities in employment areas which we believe offer the most potential for wage growth. These targeted areas include:
- Certified nursing/hospital assistant
- Hazardous materials technician
- Construction
- Manufacturing
- Warehouse
- Short-haul truck driving
- Office occupations
- Electronic assembly
- Airport related jobs
KCJI enrolls clients in a variety of trainings with different start dates and locations. Training generally lasts no more than 12 weeks. We will also help you with transportation to get to training and work, child care to enable you to work, and emergency services as needed.
KCJI provides an intensive four-day Job Readiness Training to all participants. This training helps participants understand and prepare for their transition into training and employment.
KCJI Account Executives provide quality case management. This means you work with the same person from enrollment, through your training, and until you have worked on your new job for one year. Job placements are in full-time jobs paying at least $9 per hour, many with benefits.
Who is eligible
At the present time, you must:
- live in the target area of unincorporated South King County, primarily in White Center and Skyway;
- be low-income. That is, your family income must be at or below 175% of the Federal Poverty Level, adjusted for family size;
- be at least 21 years old; and
- be willing to participate in skills or vocational training
- or, qualify as an ex-offender (see below)
- Ex-offenders may also be eligible
Ex-offenders must be referred to KCJI by your case manager from the King County Community Corrections Alternative Program (CCAP).
