For Employers

Seeking a new source of skilled employees?  Tired of the hiring/firing merry-go-round?  Well, here's a place where hiring tax credit-eligible employees can lead to financial savings - fatherhood programs.  The programs recruit men, screen them, bond them and provide follow-up support.  Programs help the men advance their education, obtain certifications and licenses, and acquire transportation to and from work.

When a man enters a fatherhood program, staff assesses his employment status, educational level and skills status.  Program staff then help the men set goals and develop career paths.  Training and resources from the community help improve education and ob retention skills.  Program staff make sure participants possess other skills that help the men handle workplace conflicts, manage time and communicate effectively in the workplace.

The men are eager to prove their workplace resolve.  A desire to succeed drives them.  You're not just hiring another employee.  You're hiring a father determined to support his family, a man who seeks employment that best matches his skills, talents and abilities.  You can help these men overcome a barrier critical to their ability to support their families: steady employment - and receive valuable tax credits in the process.  And all this takes place in an environment where motivation and follow up keep things on track.  That's why men partnering with fatherhood programs offer employees key benefits and much-needed resources.
