The educational program will encompass 12 weeks of training courses where participants will receive the tools needed to help prepare them to become financially stable and independent

Our training involves one on one coaching to help prepare them not only for job interviews but to secure a long-term job at the end of the program.  The goal of the program is for all participants to walk away with an individualized plan for growth themselves for one year which outlines key quarterly goals in all 3 areas: 1) Financial planning and budgeting 2) Career Readiness 3) Homeownership Skills

Quarterly Check-ins

Each quarter during the months of June, September, and December participants will have the opportunity to do a one on one check-in with Phoenix Project Nola. The goal will be to check in with participants and see where they are in their individualized plans and see what they may need assistance with as well as offer additional educational resources.
