CPTJ
is a program seeking to improve the quality of life for
Hispanics in the SC Midlands area through job training and
employment. CPTJ seeks a collaborative partnership with
local contractors who are willing to employ job seekers
through the CPTJ program. As part of this collaborative
effort, CPTJ will provide job seekers with training in such
areas as English language and job skills. CPTJ will work
with contractors to identify job seekers with appropriate
skills to meet their needs.
Contractor's
Responsibilities
Contractors
who provide employment or internship opportunities through
CPTJ agree to provide those individuals hired through CPTJ
with a livable wage and to provide continuing employment opportunities
for individuals whose performance meets the contractor's expectations.
To the extent a contractor offers employment benefits to other
employees, such as health insurance, vacation and sick leave,
and retirement benefits, the contractor agrees to offer the
same benefit opportunities to individuals CPTJ places with
them. Contractors also agree to assist CPTJ in developing
a curriculum of job skills for use in training job seekers
as well as a grading system to measure workplace success.
Contractors are encouraged to allow CPTJ participants time
to complete ESL, GED, or other necessary training. Failure
of the contractor to meet these responsibilities subjects
the contractor to loss of access to job seekers through the
CPTJ program.
Job
Seeker's Responsibilities
Job seekers
placed with contractors participating in the CPTJ program
are responsible for:
1. Obtaining
and maintaining a legal work status
2. Reporting to training and other appointments with CPTJ

3. Regularly attending training and other scheduled CPTJ events
4. Reporting to work on time
5. Reporting any changes in job status to CPTJ
6. Successful performance in the workplace, including a successful
