Work Central is a call center that relies upon sophisticated technology to support employment and financial self-sufficiency among former welfare recipients. This proposal seeks funding to expand services from the six counties participating in the pilot program to include Bertie, Beaufort, Craven, Franklin, Greene, Johnston, Lenoir, Northampton, Warren, and Wayne counties. With support from the GLF, Work Central will also expand the target population to include residents affected by the decline of agricultural employment. The program anticipates serving more than 1,000 people over the grant period.
