Project for Pride in Living

About

Project for Pride in Living (PPL) provides Career Readiness services to Minnesota adults with lower incomes. Our career pathways include training to get started in healthcare, education, banking, and much more. All our programs include financial coaching, one-on-one job search support, and general career readiness training. All our programs are offered virtually but many have in-person components. Our programs connect participants with educational and employer partners to start making those industry connections. We are currently enrolling for the following career training: Green Pathway Partnership Careers like Solar Panel Installer, Electric Vehicle Charging Station Installer, HVAC Certification, and Intro to Construction. These trainings are open to anyone age 16 and over and you do not need a HS Diploma or GED. We are also going to be enrolling for Pharmacy Technician (Helping customers and pharmacists in a pharmacy), Building Operations Technician (Fixing and maintaining rental units and commercial office buildings), and Human Services (Working in the county supporting community members with casework, resources and benefits). These three specific training sessions are coming later this Summer. We also have a program to help adults ages 18-26 and over finish their credits to obtain their high school diploma. This program is called Diploma Connect. We have a program to help job seekers with the job search process through resume building, cover letter writing and job seeking help within the Access Program.
