Upgrade your skills and gain employment experience.

bridges hero

Bridges at the Missions is an apprenticeship program which provides opportunities within the Missions operations for individuals between the ages of 25 and 40 who have recently been laid off or lost a job. Over a 9 to 12-month period of employment, apprentices upgrade their skills and expand their working experience.

Importantly, Bridges apprentices also receive personal counseling and capacity building in the “soft skills” of job hunting, resume development, interviewing, and teamwork. Weekly discussion sessions review strengths and assess challenges, providing an opportunity for personal growth.

The Missions Catholic Social Ministries then assists the apprentice in finding a permanent position. Bridges apprentices now are firemen, Selma city employees, and workers in colleges, health care and manufacturing industries in and around Selma.
