Connecting People to Jobs (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.

II. 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.
