The Employment Assistance Program (EAP) is funded through a major grant from Department of Labor, City of New Britain, and in the past by American Savings Foundation, Community Foundation of Greater New Britain, Capital Region Eeducation Council and Capital Workforce Partners.

The services provided through our program include:

• Job Search Assistance
• Resume Writing and Cover Letter Preparation
• Providing Job Market Information
• Provide Referral Information Regarding Job Readiness Programs
• Language Help Services 
• Assist with Information on Vocational Training Programs in the Region
• Work with Companies and Businesses Regarding Job Placement Referrals when Requested
• Grant Access to Local English as a Second Language Courses for Employment Readiness
  

Our EAP works together with partner agencies and associations on behalf of our clients to grant assistance where needed to help them achieve their goals.

Services to the client are free of charge.

The Polish American Foundation’s EAP was formed in the fall of 2003 and thus far has served over 1000 clients.

Our chief focus has been to help the job seeker become acclimated to the American job market. This means providing the tools for job placement success, be it knowing where and how to look for a job, compiling a powerful resume, outreach to the job community, internet leads….we do what we can to best serve those who seek assistance.

Our job development capabilities are improving dramatically. Currently we are in the process of implementing an aggressive campaign to shift from being an informational portal by moving more into direct employer engagement in order to create additional placement opportunities for our clients.
