What is STEPS? A Pathway to Stability
STEPS is an acronym for St. Anthony’s Employment Pathways to Stability
At. St. Anthony’s, we strive to provide individuals with stability and create a society in which all persons flourish. Along with meeting basic hygiene, food, and spiritual support, we also provide our guests with a pathway to a livable wage through job training and job placement. We envision a more prosperous city where barriers to employment are eliminated, and every member of the community to gain financial stability through meaningful work.
Job Readiness Training, Job Coaching, and Ongoing Support
The STEPS Program offers a host of employment services to prepare our guests to enter (or re-enter) the workforce. We help build job readiness and life management skills so the individuals we serve can find AND keep a job. Our services are available in English and Spanish.
STEPS training includes soft skill and technical/hard skill development. We use a combination of instruction, classroom discussion, videos, and activities to provide all participants with the skills and knowledge they need. All participants leave with a professional digital resume and practical tools.
Pre-Employment Training for Men in Recovery
This three-week program is offered to men in recovery at Father Alfred Center and is built into each guest’s recovery treatment plan. It includes job readiness and life management skills that prepare guests to re-enter the workforce, pursue volunteer opportunities, or enroll in continuing education. We build resilience and support the men’s recovery and long-term stability as part of an integrated approach to healing. Unique to the STEPS training is our focus on emotional intelligence, neuroscience and its connection to emotional regulation, and applied communications skills. We also provide an employment toolkit that includes: building a digital resume, searching for paid or volunteer employment, dressing for success, and interviewing skills.
