Employment services are designed to identify and address a variety of barriers that prevent the Latino job seeker from obtaining and retaining meaningful employment. CLUES employment staff also attempts to tackle some of the tougher challenges facing clients seeking employment. Poverty, hunger, homelessness, separation from family, newcomer status, language barriers, and mental and/or chemical health issues are at times greater barriers to employment and self-sufficiency.

Referrals to other CLUES services or to other community services, and support in accessing those services, is a key component of the employment plan. Providing further support is the CLUES network of employers and its “Employer of Choice” Program. These established relationships with employers allow CLUES to better assist clients with job placement, retention and post-placement support.

The Employment Department successfully completed its fifth year as a Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) provided. MFIP clients were successful in reaching their employment goals. As a result of CLUES' role as an MFIP employment service provider, 196 participants found full-time jobs with benefits making an average wage of $10.63 per hour.
