Stepping Forward Works

A comprehensive career pathway program for those facing barriers to gainful employment. The goal is to move the chronically unemployed and under-employed into self-sufficiency while providing Franklin County businesses with qualified, reliable employees.

ALICE

ALICE stands for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. In Franklin County, 33% of households are living below the survival budget. This means they cannot afford basic needs such as housing, child care, food, transportation, health care, and technology. We aim to change that.

Meet Ellen

A story of how workforce development programs make a difference.

Having raised her children to become successful professionals and parents, Ellen was in a place where it was her time to enjoy things like reading with her grandchildren. Unfortunately, she also found herself hiding the fact that she could only read below a third grade level. She knew she had to do something about it, but was anxious about approaching the Franklin County Literacy Council because she didn’t think she would succeed.
