CML 425 Church and Job Readiness
This course explores the relationship between urban ministry and the issue of widespread unemployment and underemployment in communities of generational poverty. Students will learn how to lead job readiness ministries within the context of biblical principles for the purpose of helping individuals in generational poverty find work. Key topics such as the role of the church in engaging marginalized neighborhoods; how adults best learn discipleship and job readiness content; how to recruit and equip volunteers for job readiness ministry; and technical content on networking for jobs in the business community will be studied. Students who obtain at least a "C" will become certified facilitators of the Chalmers Center's Work Life curriculum.
