Support Services
UMOS provides customers with a variety of career development resources and
supportive services which include:
Vocational Assessments
Vocational assessments are a part of our career planning process. Testing is
utilized to identify basic skill levels and strengths, career interests, goals,
work experience, and aptitude. UMOS has a comprehensive list of vocational
assessment tools used to match individuals with appropriate trainings:
Harrington O'Shea Career Decision Making System (CDM) - CDM is
a vocational interest survey comparing users-reported likes and dislikes in six
major career areas. The results of the CDM match individuals with appropriate
employment sectors.
Aviator 3 - Aviator 3 provides an on-line, user-friendly
interactive assessment of career interests, aptitude, and academic achievement
levels.
Tests of Adult Basic Education (TABE) - TABE results provide
measures of grade-equivalent mathematics and reading levels.
Job Readiness Workshop
UMOS workshops provide our customers with structured curricula that emphasize
personal development, conflict resolution, motivation, building self-esteem,
goal setting, time-management, resumé development, interviewing skills, and
career exploration. This training helps prepare our customers to meet workplace
expectations.
Job Club
UMOS Job Clubs offer employment counseling and screening, intensive job search
assistance, and employment placement. This is achieved through the effective
use of networking, providing personal email accounts, internet job searches,
and resume enhancements.
Children First (CF)
The non-custodial parent who has no current means of meeting a child support
obligation and does not work full-time may be court ordered into the Children
First program. Children First is a program that promotes the emotional and
financial responsibility that a non-custodial parent has toward his/her
child(ren). The program provides job search assistance, work experience,
education and training opportunities, and case management services designed to
enable eligible non-custodial parents to obtain and retain employment.
Learnfare (LF)
Learnfare is a program designed to assist at-risk students ages six to 17 to
maintain and/or improve school attendance. It is for children in families whose
parents are in W-2 employment positions that need case management to enable the
student to maintain/improve school attendance, gain a high school diploma, and
break the cycle of welfare dependency.
