The purpose of the program is to increase the employability of unemployed or underemployed District of Columbia residents through pre-employment skills training and retraining programs. The program is intended to improve or restructure the skill levels of residents who are 16 or older and who are in need of training or retraining to secure unsubsidized employment.
