VJOBS provides job opportunities in construction trades for at-risk individuals who seek to change their lives and become productive members of society through education and sustained, meaningful employment.

PVJOBS believes that the path to recovery and self-sufficiency requires personal commitment, having marketable skills and earning a living wage. To help accomplish this, PVJOBS provides a job-opportunity referral program that links at-risk individuals receiving supportive services from local community-based organizations (CBOs) with jobs in construction. This network offers resources and opportunities necessary for at-risk individuals to become successful.

Taking personal responsibility means an individual is accountable for his or her words and actions and is a necessary component in developing integrity and self-esteem. The success of PVJOBS and its candidates relies on the genuine effort of the referring community-based organization, participating contractors and the individual participant.

PVJOBS provides opportunities to those at greatest risk. Access to job referrals is based on the total risk factor, which is the number of at-risk conditions present at the time of application.

AT RISK CONDITIONS
