Successful Participants:
Core 6 provides each participant with a workforce development assessment. We assess participants’ basic skills in literacy, math, writing, reasoning, problem solving, and decision-making. At the conclusion of the training program, participants are re-assessed to determine experiential growth.
Core 6 provides paid on-the-job training for CHAMP participants through Champ Catering and Flippers Fish & Chicken, our food service business ventures.
