Department Overview

AWTP continues to offer an introduction to varied positions within the tribe. Our job placement strategy has provided AWTP personnel to departments that need long- or short-term assistance to fulfill workforce duties. Muckleshoot Tribal Departments have contributed greatly to the success of AWTP participants by providing hands-on experience with in wide-ranging positions.

AWTP Participants are provided an opportunity to learn valued introductory job skills. The objective is to increase employability. This incorporates efforts of participant's continuing education goals, breaking barriers to employment and health/wellness awareness. A strong skill foundation can be achieved, competing for varied career and occupational goals.

Success of any program relies on an ability to provide consistent actions including assessment, case management, maintaining employer partnerships with job placement, and solid retention programs. We’ve developed standards for AWTP components: onboarding, training requirements and assessment intervals are essential to promoting a successful operation.

Together with tools and actions, AWTP can deliver a candidate whom employers will want to hire, and empower partners to easily identify graduates whom have acquired selected skill sets, overall job readiness, and position qualifications to potentially gain full-time employment.

Hands On or Position Introduction within Tribal Programs

Through the placement program, training will be delivered by the department partnering with AWTP. A job-ready candidate for potential employers will be provided with introduction to established positions – and may present strong candidacy if recruitment for Full-Time Employment (FTE) opportunities become available.

Developing Relationships and Placement Standards

One major goal is to develop a set of standards that will ensure participants involved with placement partnerships gain valued introductory skills. By itself, the job readiness training program cannot solely guarantee that participants will meet the standards set by a single employer. However, the skills acquired provide a strong foundation for applying to a wide variety of similar positions and occupations.
