R4W covers all aspects of finding and keeping a good job leading to a career. Work ethic and life skills are expressly gone over and highlighted. Making sure the participant understands the importance of the 5 P’s and how to make a great impression is stressed throughout the process.

Anyone seeking employment will benefit from R4W but especially those unemployed or underemployed as well as those that have faced multiple risk factors and levels of dysfunction during their matriculation or reentry.
