For more than ten years, The Trade Institute of Pittsburgh has graduated men and women into livable wage jobs with leading employers. We help people rebuild their lives as they rebuild the region.
This week, I'm talking to newly appointed executive director Donta Green about what they do at the Trade Institute to help rebuild and engage a community who, for lack of a better word, feel as though their decisions counted them out.
They also provide supportive services to those who need it because maybe they feel like they don't have what it takes to get back into the real world or the stress of being the primary breadwinner in their family.
TIP’s Life Coach program implements a personalized counseling approach, working with each student for one hour per week. In these sessions, students set individual goals related to relationships, finances, health, etc. and are given an action plan to achieve those goals.
And finally, there's job placement. So The Trade Institute trains you to do the job, prepares you to get the job and then after you get the job, they stay with you throughout the process to make sure you're good to go on your own.
This program is something I believe many families need to take advantage of and enroll. Because we all have that one family member who makes those not so smart decisions that lands them in challenging situations and they just need that hand to help pull them out and I believe Donta Green and his folks over at The Trade Institute of Pittsburgh are the solutions to help all that.
