Career Catchers VISTA Digital Fundraiser Manager
Since 2007, CareerCatchers (CC) has been coaching Montgomery County’s (MC) most vulnerable citizens, using a personalized and multiple touch point approach similar to that used by professional career coaches. Our mission is to provide one on one employment and job skills counseling; identify and encourage participation in training programs; and enhance self-esteem and foster empowerment. The goal is to support our clients as they move out of poverty, and away from the path of continuously working in minimum wage, dead end jobs. CC makes a difference in the Washington metro area (primarily in Montgomery County) by helping under- and un-employed residents complete job skills training, start, and maintain employment with career potential. Striving to address the whole person in an individualized way, CC’s client services are provided through one-on-one career counseling, Job Clubs, group sessions, workshops, training, mentoring, and tutoring. We work on career planning, goal setting, networking, skills evaluation, resume preparation, cover letters, job search, job applications, interview training and follow-up, online resources, access to funds for skills training, experience-building opportunities, and job retention support. Our clients span the non-mutually exclusive groups of domestic violence victims, homeless, foreign-born, those with disabilities, the previously incarcerated, youth aging out of foster care, and disconnected youth.
