Job ConnectionAbout Job Connection The Job Connection helps people achieve their employment goals through assessment of interests and skills. Each participant develops his or her own individual goals and, with assistance or guidance, develops a plan to meet their employment needs. Working in partnership with Seattle Housing residents, Section 8 voucher holders, and Seattle residents in nearby neighborhoods The Job Connection strives to increase participants' self-sufficiency through self-directed goal setting, gainful employment, stable housing, and improved access to community services. The Job Connection's vision statement is to empower residents to be actively involved in their own neighborhoods, to establish a strong network of partnerships, to value neighbors' cultural diversity, and to be educated and motivated to improve their own lives.
