Our education programs provide our clients with a set of skills needed to obtain employment and the incentive to stay employed and become self-reliant.

Employment

Clients can participate in workshops in:

1. Job Searching skills

2. Resume Writing

3. Interview Skills

Sullivan Center clients who are receiving financial assistance and are unemployed are required to attend one employment workshop. Following an in-depth assessment and individual financial counseling, clients are given job leads and Internet sites to search and apply for jobs. The Center provides computers for job searches and resume postings.

The Sullivan Center also provides employability training for inmates who are getting ready do be released from The Fulton County jail. An off-campus workshop presentation includes qualities of success, communication skills, time and stress management, and business etiquette.

Other education programs include:

Financial Planning & Budgeting

Clients receiving financial assistance and other community individuals can meet with a Case Manager and Financial Advisor to discuss their particular financial situation and plan functional budgeting and savings programs.
