Employment Readiness Program – RAP3

Thomas Ridley’s 1 Like Me provides job readiness to ensure that participants are equipped with the skills necessary to secure gainful employment.  In doing so, 1 Like Me created the RAP3 curriculum (Resume, Application, Presentation, Probation, and Permanent Hire) to cover the steps involved in the job seeking process.  RAP3 employs evidence-based methods and best practices such as prosocial modeling, collaborative problem-solving, incremental skill-building and the establishment of trust with an infusion of hope.  The curriculum materials include handouts, PowerPoint presentations, and application sessions.  Below is an overview of the RAP3 program.
