Adult Program

It Begins with a Living Wage


We help you find stable, well-paying jobs through job search support and skill-building. Our career advisors will assist in identifying a living wage for your situation and guide you towards careers that meet that standard. We’ll also use the H3 website (http://H3.ne.gov) to explore high-wage, high-skill careers in Nebraska, with all activities focused on reaching this goal.
