Position Description

As part of Skills for Rhode Island’s Future's efforts to boost economic recovery efforts in Rhode Island and get people back to work, the organization has partnered with the Department of Labor and Training to develop a program to match individuals looking for work with companies hiring immediate, temporary employees. Candidates will work one-on-one with a Skills for Rhode Island’s Future (SkillsRI) recruiter to secure an opportunity based on skills, experience and scheduling availability. Some additional details:

• Candidates will earn between $18-$23 per hour as part of the Rhode Island’s new program to provide pay raises to frontline workers.
• Jobs span across multiple industries, including direct support services, manufacturing, retail, hospitality warehouse and logistics, food service and call center / customer service.

To be considered, applicants must qualify as a “dislocated worker” by meeting one of the following requirements:

• You’ve been laid off or received a layoff notice from a job.
• You are receiving unemployment benefits as a result of being laid off.
• You are the spouse of an active duty member of the Armed Forces and have lost employment as a result of relocation due to a permanent duty station change.
• You are the spouse of an active duty member of the Armed Forces that is unemployed or underemployed.
• You are a “displaced homemaker”—someone taking care of a family member without pay—who is no longer supported by their spouse, is unemployed or underemployed, and cannot find or upgrade employment.
