Classes, Workshops, Seminars & Training
We offer free training ranging from short “spit and polish” classes like “Adapting Your Resume” to lengthy college education.
Tier 1 & 2 Direct Recruiting
Services for job-ready applicants who are ready to compete in the open job market. Our fastest connection to employers. Free to all.
Tier 3 & 4 Service Learning Internships (SLIs)
If you are disabled, you might qualify for a Service Learning Internship (SLI) prior to Direct Recruiting. There are several benefits. Some internships are for pay, others are on a voluntary basis depending on your situation and the employer’s position.

We quickly figure out what your greatest interests are. Then we target employer(s) with On The Job Training (OJT) matching your needs. We advocate you to the employer – we don’t just send your resume.

You can also request a mentor who is an expert in your field. He/she commits a year to you. Often, the employer is also a mentor.

Our Sponsors

We are extremely grateful for the support of our generous sponsors.

Testimonials

Hear what our job seekers and employers have to say about their experiences working with the R2W team.

I’ve had the pleasure of using your services through VR. I wanted to make sure you knew what an excellent job Nikki has done handling my affairs. She was timely courteous respectful and attentive.

I cannot relate in words how surprised I am by her overall performance and etiquette in the short time we’ve been working together she’s gone above and beyond to handle all my needs and concerns and landed me a position exactly meeting my expectations. You got a keeper on your hands.
