About 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.

For more information or to apply for the Job Connection's services, call or stop by a Job Connection office to pick up an application.  

How it Works

After contact has been made with the Job Connection office and an application for service has been completed, you will be assigned to a personal case manager who will assist with the process toward gaining employment. This will include identifying employers and assisting with every step of the job seeking plan.

Once you've received the job that you want, your case manager will help you with wage advancement and promotion. They can also help to continually improve your income and opportunity to advance in your career.
