The SPOKES program, a collaborative effort between the WWDE Office of Adult Education and Workforce Development and the Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR), alongside Workforce Development Boards (WDBs), offers a comprehensive approach to work-based learning. It focuses on academics related to the workplace, job preparation skills, and specialized vocational training in customer service.
The program specifically serves DHHR and WV Works clients, who can start receiving services on “any given Monday”. Participants in the program engage in a rigorous daily schedule that encompasses work-related academics, essential "soft skills" for securing and maintaining employment, and targeted vocational training in customer service. |
