Job Opening

Career Navigator, Full-time, Non-Exempt

Associates for Training and Development (A4TD) is a nationally recognized workforce development

non-profit that originated in 1983. A4TD administers job training programs for mature workers in six

states: CT, ME, NH, NY, PA, and VT. We recognize the dignity and worth of our program participants and

hold firm in the belief that mature workers have the right to contribute to their economic stability. When

a program participant is offered a job consistent with their interests and abilities, we at A4TD are uplifted

and energized to do it again with the next participant. As the demographics of our countrys workforce

change, we know mature workers bring needed skills and talents to the workplace.

A4TD has an opening for a Career Navigator to join our dedicated, mission-driven team. Our dynamic

team comes from diverse backgrounds. We are teachers, coaches, accountants, former restaurant

managers, veterans, and more.

Are you a self-starter, curious and creative, ready to learn? If you are motivated to make a difference,

this may be a great fit. We can train the right person.

What is the job?

You will be part of a team that administers the Senior Community Service Employment Program

(SCSEP) in Northeastern Maine. The SCSEP helps low-income, unemployed seniors by assigning them

to paid internships at local nonprofits and public agencies, then helps them transition to permanent

employment and achieve economic independence. Your job is to support the program participants

through all stages of the SCSEP program: as they enter, grow and learn, and transition to permanent

employment. Building community partnerships and understanding the local labor market are two ways

in which you support participants. The position is based in Bangor and oversees 5 counties.

What are my job functions?

You will recruit applicants, assign participants to host agency sites for their internship, supervise

and assist staff, meet with host agency supervisors, and build program capacity by developing

partnerships with training, employer and service organizations.

You will work directly with participants: identify their training needs, recognize barriers to

employment, determine any support services needed, and support job search efforts.

Other special projects may be assigned. Moderate in-state travel is required and reimbursed.

Salary: \$42,000-\$45,000 per year

Paid Vacation, Sick, and Holiday

Employee Assistance Program

401(k)and generous match

and/or engaging with businesses. Non-profit experience is a plus!

Knowledge of local workforce trends what are the skills employers expect for open positions?

Great attitude: motivated to make a difference, ready to learn, collaborative approach, eager to do

outreach

Coaching skills: Ability to connect honestly and provide positive encouragement to participants

disabilities

Our work is important, and we have fun doing it. Watching people learn new things when they thought

they could not is fun! And it is the responsibility of our commitments to our participants that grounds us

during these difficult times. We, and our participants, have the fortitude to see i
