Job Placement Support
FRIDAY & Associates provides structured Job Placement Support Services to help participants move from preparation into meaningful employment.
We understand that job readiness and employability training are critical, but they are only part of the equation. Participants also need access, connections, and guided support to successfully secure employment.
Our Job Placement Support Services are designed to complement training programs by creating clear pathways into the workforce and supporting successful transitions into employment.

Our approach is practical, structured, and outcomes-focused.
