The Lawrenceville Job Training Partnership

WorkWell is a job-training program for returning citizens that takes place at the former First Presbyterian Church of Trenton. The program cycles run daily for four weeks from 9am to 3pm, using an effective job-training curriculum for the formerly incarcerated that was developed by Uplift Solutions, a Philadelphia-based nonprofit. 

In addition to job and life skills instruction, trainees receive transportation passes, meals, and stipends. Benefit screening services are provided by the United Way of Greater Mercer County, addressing issues such as federal benefits, medical insurance, housing and connecting our participants with other community resources. 

WorkWell helps the formerly incarcerated find meaningful employment and stable lives in fulfillment of its vision: Removing walls, building community: working together to equip returning citizens with job skills, dignity and hope.
