Tips and resources to get you there

A few things worth knowing before Career Day — about work requirements, training, and the local programs that can help you take the next step.

MTW work requirement

Volunteering counts

Volunteering 15 hours a week or more satisfies the Moving to Work (MTW) work requirement.

Not sure where your household stands? Ask any HACA staff member at the event.

MTW work requirement

Military service counts

Income from a military position satisfies the MTW work requirement — and recruiters will be on site to talk through the options.

Education

Finish your high school credential

Free adult education, HSE/GED prep, and English classes are available locally.

Childcare

Help finding childcare

Subsidy programs and provider search tools can make working or training possible.

Money

Free financial coaching

One-on-one coaching on budgeting, credit, and debt — at no cost.

Dress to succeed

Look the part, for free

Interview-ready clothing and styling support are available through local partners — several will be at Career Day.

Photo gallery of interview-ready looks to be added here.
