Services
Once you complete Blue Jacket’s 2-week Career Academy (meant for anyone who has a barrier to employment) or our 3-week Adapted Career Academy (geared toward those with disabilities), you are then eligible for our Blue Jacket Staffing service, which gives employers access to our qualified candidates. We are also able to employ our graduates transitionally at the Blue Jacket Clothing Co., which is a build-out thrift-style business professional and casual clothing store. We have found that sometimes those that possess barriers require an ability to work in-house and gain a wage and experience as they regain their footing. Once stable, Blue Jacket's enterprises are designed to be transitional, moving clients into a career. See below for more detail on our services.
The Career Academy
The Career Academy is a two-week, 40-hour training program that provides job readiness training. As a result of graduating the academy, Blue Jacket provides transitional jobs, job placements, and pre- and post-placement services including education, skills and interest assessments, and personal and professional development.
