Within two business days, an SSOC staff member will call to schedule your Information Session.
Sessions are held weekly: Tuesdays at 2:00 p.m. and Thursdays at 10:00 a.m.

In this session, you’ll learn about program requirements, expectations, and job opportunities with our employer partners, then complete an intake assessment to confirm eligibility, discuss your goals, and sign the permission form for a background check. The process typically takes about one hour, but participants should set aside up to two hours from arrival to ensure enough time to complete all steps without feeling rushed. Please bring documents that verify your work eligibility, such as a Social Security card, state ID or driver’s license, birth certificate, or other relevant documentation.

Orientation is the final step before training begins. It takes place on Fridays, with the program starting the following Monday. Staff will review expectations, share materials, provide RTA passes, and confirm I-9 documents. An official background check is then submitted through HireRight at no cost to you. The results belong to you, and SSOC does not keep a copy. If the report affects eligibility or contains an error, staff can connect you with trusted legal resources. This step is required, and our team will guide you through the process.

We understand that everyone’s path is different, and we are committed to being supportive and fair. At this time, we are unable to accept individuals with a felony charge or conviction of a violent nature within the past five years.
