Career Pathways Program VISTA Jobs in Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA at AmeriCorps & Senior Corps
This exciting new endeavor arises from our mission at the Workforce & Community Engagement (WCE) Division to serve as a gateway to economic mobility by providing customized learning opportunities to meet the needs of learners, employers, and our community. The Career Pathways Program will engage the resources of the Division and community partners to address educational and employment barriers for new majority learners.
New majority learners include (Education Design Lab, 2022) people of color, individuals with disabilities, low-income, first-generation, veterans, ESL learners, immigrants and migrants, parents, LGBTQ+ people, formerly incarcerated, and/or those who do not have a high school diploma. Our programs can help people who are stuck or powerless imagine a new version of themselves as a business owner, an active member of the community with the ability to impact others, someone who can earn a sustainable income, or develop a meaningful career.
In service to “new majority learners”, VISTA members will work as part of a team to assist with streamlining procedures; researching, developing, and compiling resources; facilitating intradepartmental collaboration and resource-sharing; and developing a pool of work readiness and life skills instructors.
Member Duties: The Ameri Corps VISTA member will be responsible for developing comprehensive, streamlined referral, intake, and screening procedures; developing a resource library for WCE staff; creating a depository of information to support grant proposals; developing a pool of work readiness and life skills resources, including instructors, curricula, and train-the-trainer modules.
