Job Readiness Training for Unemployed District Residents
Leadership Case Study
A District employment agency needed intensive job readiness training for unemployed residents with substantial barriers to work. The program covered more than 15 job-readiness topics with online learning add-ons and full reporting.
Leadership experience. This engagement was delivered by a Washington, DC-based management consulting firm where Altus's founder previously served in executive leadership. We share it to show the experience our leadership brings. It is not presented as Altus Workforce Solutions contract performance. Client details are anonymized.
The challenge
The agency needed to serve currently unemployed District residents who had a demonstrated need for intensive employment assistance.
The approach
- Training. Delivered instruction across 15+ job-readiness topics, supplemented with online courses.
- Intake and tracking. Managed intake packets and weekly timekeeping.
- Reporting. Submitted monthly progress reports and a completion tracker.
The outcomes
- Program scoped to enroll and train 40 unemployed residents
- 100% compliance with all contract terms and conditions
- First adult-focused program in the firm's workforce portfolio
Why it matters for Altus clients
Adult job seekers with barriers need structure and follow-through, not just a class. Tight intake, tracking and reporting keep the program accountable to the agency and the participant.
