About Workforce Essentials Workshops

At Workforce Opportunity Services, our mission is to connect individuals from underserved populations with transformative career opportunities. One of the most impactful ways we accomplish this mission is through the power of education.

That’s why we’ve developed an online four-day workshop for early-career individuals. Based on 20 years of research-based workforce development experience, the Workforce Essentials Workshop is designed to:

  • Develop problem-solving abilities
  • Encourage personal and professional goal-setting
  • Cultivate workplace literacy and professional values
  • Build transferable career skills
  • Improve individuals’ self-esteem, confidence, and overall wellness
  • Provide a framework for lifelong learning and metacognition

We’ve partnered with the Columbia University Center for Technology Management to provide all students who complete the program with a certificate of completion, helping students get noticed and hired by employers.

“I run a technology team of four and the skills that I learned in the WOS business and project management courses are what I use to manage my team and run my company today. My technical training enables me to effectively communicate with developers, project managers, and stakeholders. The WOS network has also proven to be invaluable; one of my first customers was a WOS alumnus! You never know who will be a resource or client in the future.”
John Thomas, HP
“My journey with WOS showed me that in life you have to take risks. The time spent 1,358 miles away from my loved ones was extremely diffi cult and emotionally tolling, but I was able to return home with a promising career and the ability to fi nancially provide for my family. I wouldn’t be in this position if it weren’t for WOS and United Rentals and I’m forever thankful for their support.”
Zachary Belknap, United Rentals
“Prior to WOS, I lacked the typical educational background sought by employers for more skill-based roles, and I found it difficult to transfer my military experience to civilian occupations. Higher education was always an aspiration but a steady income took precedence. WOS made it possible for me to do both. They invested in developing both hard and soft-skills so I could succeed in a corporate environment. “
