The competitive employment program (CEP) works to reduce crime and homelessness by assisting individuals with significant barriers into employment, leading to a career. Individuals in CEP participate in the world of work job readiness training, and are then connected with a career specialist, with which they create a personalized plan which addresses each of their barriers to self-sufficiency. Additional services available to eligible CEP participants include behavioral and physical health services, housing and transportation assistance, work-related clothing, educational assistance, and more. In 2018, 1,168 individuals completed job readiness training, 670 were successfully placed into employment at an average hourly wage of 10.02, and 55% maintained their employment for a minimum of 90 days.
