Rides To Work Gets You To Job Interviews – Congratulations. You have a job interview at a business in another town. How are you going to get there? Check out RTW.
The road to employment starts with an interview. Today’s jobs are often many miles away from where people live. RTW may provide transportation to job
interviews or job fairs, across town or 30 miles away. In many cases, the job fairs are on-site at employers that also have regular transportation available for workers.
The Workforce Alliance and the CT Department of Labor often arrange on-site job fairs at an employer’s location. Job fairs are a big help for employers. Reading your resume is not enough; employers must meet and interview job-seekers. Job fairs save employers time and money, and increase your chances of landing a good job.
The RTW Auto Emergency Fund - Car repair bills and the rising cost of insurance can take a big chunk out of a paycheck. Sometimes, it’s just too much. The RTW Auto Emergency Fund offers one-time grants up to $600 to help you keep your car on the road. Use it for repairs, registration or driver’s license fees, or to pay car insurance. Don’t let a bump in the road keep you from getting to work.
Start Right – Don’t let the cost of commuting keep you from taking a job. Try “Job Starter”, the RTW program that provides free transportation for your first month of employment. “Job Starter” gives you time to catch up and begin affording the commute.
Eligible employees can also get ongoing subsidized shuttle bus service to jobs on heavily traveled routes along the shoreline from Milford to Old Saybrook.
