Last week, Shay Bassett, Director of the Work Life program at the Chalmers Center hosted a webinar on Building Your A-Team: How to Recruit, Equip, and Support a Core Team for Your Work Readiness Ministry. She shared about why work matters, the barriers people face to finding and keeping sustaining work, and why we need a new story about work.

During the webinar, Coach Shay shared why work readiness ministry isn’t a solo endeavor and why it’s critical to build a team of people to launch a work readiness ministry. She walked participants through how to recruit, equip, and support a core team of people to help with this ministry.

While this content was focused on work readiness ministry, it also applies to poverty alleviation ministry more broadly. From understanding who to recruit to how to equip your team to succeed to how to support them in the long term, this training covers a lot of ground.

If you’re interested in learning more about launching a work readiness ministry in your community, schedule a call with the Chalmers team to understand if Work Life is a good fit for you.
