Building Skills. Creating Opportunity.
At CEO, we believe access to meaningful work is a vital step toward stability and self-sufficiency. Our Employment Programs — including the Center for Employment Opportunities and Parent Pathways — offer training, support, and personalized services to help individuals overcome barriers and secure sustainable jobs in Luzerne and surrounding counties.
Job Readiness & Skills Training
We help you build practical workplace skills, polish your resume, and prepare for interviews so you’re ready to succeed.
Career Counseling & Planning
Through one-on-one support, we assess your strengths, interests, and goals to help you find a path that fits.
Support for Parents & Families (Parent Pathways)
We understand that balancing work and family is tough — our Parent Pathways program offers flexible support and guidance tailored to parents entering or re-entering the workforce.
Access to Local Employers & Opportunities
We connect you with regional employers, help with job placement, and support you as you transition into stable employment.
Ongoing Support & Follow-up
Even after placement, we remain a resource, offering assistance and guidance to help you keep your employment and grow your career.
Support Services & Barrier Removal
Many people face obstacles beyond just needing job skills — transportation, childcare, scheduling conflicts, or other life challenges. CEO helps address those barriers so participants can maintain employment and succeed.
