Fast Track to Work

FastTrack to Work includes:

• A paid internship where you work at a local business in Baltimore while earning an industry-standard salary.
• Job coaching: on-site support at your workplace. Your job coach helps you learn tasks, develop workplace skills, navigate social situations, and implement accommodations.
• Job development: help with creating your resume, finding suitable positions, applying for jobs, practicing interview skills, and otherwise connecting you with job opportunities.
• Work readiness training: weekly classes led by peers who have successfully found and maintained employment.
• Help with transportation: we help you get to and from work, from providing wheelchair-accessible transportation to support with navigating local transit systems, accessing transportation assistance programs, arranging ride services, or exploring alternative transportation solutions.
• Benefits counseling: our team helps you navigate the paperwork and understand how employment affects benefits

If you find the job of your dreams before the end of the program, you don’t need to finish your internship; instead, you can move on to your new job and we’ll help both you and your new employer make the transition as smooth as possible.
