  • CPR/First Aid
  • Resume writing
  • Interview practice

In addition to the coursework, Workforce Development participants will receive hands-on experience and work in the field with Groundwork staff to plant trees and learn about tree maintenance.  The ultimate goal is to prepare participants for job opportunities.
