Job Retention
The
best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work
today.
-Elbert Hubbard
Getting a new job is no different from any other
change. It starts out with uncertainty and it's even a bit
scary. Stick with it and you will learn many new things about
yourself and the world around you. You will gain experience that
will help you move up in the job market.
The purpose of
job retention is to assist you in making the transition from
welfare to work. To make this transition as smooth as possible,
your Employment Social Worker will work with you by providing
community resource referrals and encouragement even if you go
off cash aid.
