Following\u00a0the 1967 Detroit riots, Focus: HOPE was founded\u00a0to fight income\u00a0inequality, inadequate education, and racism. Almost 50\u00a0years have passed now, and Focus: HOPE has grown substantially to operate\u00a0child care, career training, and supplemental food programs that serve residents from all backgrounds. Thousands of peoples’ lives have improved as a result.<\/p>\n

In 2009, Focus: HOPE launched the Hope Village initiative, which is a comprehensive plan that aims to make 100% of the residents in the surrounding area community\u00a0educationally <\/em>well-prepared, economically <\/em>self-sufficient, and living in a safe and supportive environment by 2031<\/em>. In recent years, programs have been expanded to\u00a0improve these three\u00a0Es.\"\"<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, many job training programs have a smaller number of participants than they would like to see. That is where I come in, I am\u00a0looking at the barriers to getting a job in the HOPE Village and how we might better guide people to jobs, job training, etc. that fit their needs. It is not clear yet whether that guidance should come in the form of a physical info graphic or an online tool…maybe both. Either way, the product will be mainly molded\u00a0by the perspective of job seekers and what they consider to be the most user-friendly.<\/p>\n

Deciding on a format and the exact data that should be put in the product\u00a0has been harder than I thought it would be. There are 300+ organizations that provide job training programs in Detroit. Many have rigid acceptance policies and others do not. Some operate their programs year-round and others do not.<\/p>\n

Detroit has been very\u00a0enjoyable thus far. I watched a movie on the north lawn of the DIA last Friday, went to my first Tigers game on Tuesday, and discovered a lot of good restaurants throughout the week. But there is so much more to do and enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
