The Empowerment through Employment Initiative, led by United Way Southwest Louisiana, equips low-income individuals with the necessary skills and resources for successful job placement. It offers soft skills training, financial assistance for employment documentation, online job training, and connects participants with local employers and caseworkers. The Initiative aims to increase economic well-being and empower struggling community members.

Individuals seeking employment assistance through the Initiative can fill out the application below, which caseworkers will review to determine program eligibility and available resources. An assigned caseworker will monitor the progress of accepted applicants.
