PIC

Our 18-member staff works with hundreds of families and individuals to help them become economically self sufficient. We do this through job training, coordination of support services and job placement. Our clients are primarily referred to us by local agencies providing public assistance to people in need.

We work with families with children, refugees, low-income seniors and adults facing multiple challenges to employment such as homelessness, debt, addiction and mental illness. Our newest program, the Veteran Women Program, is open to all women veterans and helps with connections to services, training and jobs.

PIC is a 501 (C) (3) organization, a non-profit that is funded primarily by local, state and federal government.

What’s New

PIC has successfully competed for a $173, 280 grant to work with homeless women veterans and homeless veterans with families. The grant was competitive and awarded by the Department of Labor in July. As a result, PIC will be working in Clark, Cowlitz and Wahkiakum counties helping veterans connect to housing, childcare, services, training and employment. This new effort, the Homeward Bound program, is part of PIC’s Veteran Women Program launched late last year.

“I am so glad that Partners in Careers will be receiving this federal investment to help local homeless veterans get the support they need to stay off the streets and get their lives back on track,” said Senator Patty Murray in an announcement of the grant.
