Seattle Jobs Initiative works in partnership with local community-based organizations and community colleges to provide Sector Cohort Training and the more individualized Sector Pathways Program.
Sector Cohort Training
Seattle Jobs Initiative’s primary short-term training programs are currently Office Occupations and Welding. These cohort* programs provide participants with a solid foundation of skills needed to attain employment following graduation, and include job search and placement support. Please read below for more information about each program. You can also view or download a printable flyer.
Office Occupations
Students train to work in an office position where they will answer phones, file, word process, schedule appointments, and provide customer service. Students learn computer programs such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint. The program also covers resume writing and interview skills, and teaches individuals how to thrive in an office environment.

Welding
Students train to work in an industrial setting where they will weld, work on machinery, perform precision measurement and other general duties surrounding manufacturing and production. The students will learn basic math skills and blueprint reading, and upon graduation will be well-versed in basic welding techniques. (Download Printable Flyer)
Sector Pathways Program
The Sector Pathways Program provides assistance to participants who would like to enter a variety of other occupational training programs at a community or technical college. Program participants work through one of SJI's partner community-based organizations to enroll in a specific training program at community college, and receive SJI's wrap-around support services.
