Employment Development Program
For over 25 years, Union Station’s Employment Development program has helped formerly unhoused individuals find employment and advance their career.
Benefits to Employers
In addition to the knowledge that you are helping previously unhoused community members rebuild their lives, there are a number of benefits that our Employment Development Program can offer employers.
Why should you employ our job candidates?
FREE PLACEMENT: As a community non-profit organization, we do not charge employers for placement services. You’ll find qualified, motivated workers at no charge.
MATCHING YOUR NEEDS: We understand the importance of matching the right worker with the right job and employer. By getting to know your needs and company culture, we will send you candidates you want to hire, saving you time and money.
MOTIVATED WORKERS: Motivated, dependable employees are an asset which we can provide. Each candidate we send you will have a clear understanding of how they positively affect your bottom line so they can be an asset to your business.
SUPPORT SERVICES: Because we continue to work with our candidates after placement, we are available to assist in minimizing and resolving challenges if they arise as our candidates settle into the job.
COMMUNITY, SOCIAL, AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: Our community as a whole will benefit as local residents become tax-paying citizens and realize their career goals.
Benefits to Job Seekers
CAREER COUNSELING: Connect and work with a Employment Specialist who will help customize a plan to reach your goals.
