CONNECT Program

Workforce Placement & Continuity

This is the critical bridge between SERVE and HOST — the moment where preparation meets opportunity. Through our CONNECT Program, we actively match trained participants with employer partners, supporting the transition from training to employment.

This is where jobs happen — and where long-term success is supported on both sides.
