While most people experience
challenges in balancing the responsibilities
of family and of work, the EnterTech targeted
learners tend to have more issues; issues
endemic to unemployment or underemployment.
EnterTech learners may require a level
of support — both formal and informal
— to cope with situational barriers.
EnterTech’s instructional
activities encourage individuals to problem-solve
actively, to create multiple solutions
to problems, and to create support networks
of co-workers, family, and friends.
But students may need
direct assistance connecting to the necessary
resources within their community, such
as centralized case management services
as offered by a one-stop center career
counselor, DHS caseworker or Communities
In School caseworker, for example.
Be ready to share community
agency names and numbers. Encourage participants
to share information with each other about
resources that can help others succeed.
