Our Success Training Employment Program (STEP) is a FREE 3-phase program that provides participants with valuable skills, confidence, and knowledge to help secure employment and reach financial goals. In 2023, we helped 258 individuals obtain job skills training, gain employment, and increase their household income. We had 157 graduates become successfully employed.

The NEW Build UP program, currently offered at the Indian River County center, is a 3-phase program providing hands-on training and skills to secure in-demand, high paying employment in the growing trades, construction, and manufacturing fields. You will learn basic construction math, print reading, measuring, calculating, and so much more!

We also host career events at the UP Center featuring dozens of our career partners. These are incredible, not to be missed events for those seeking employment across a variety of different fields.

In 2022, we helped 57 low-income individuals obtain job skills training, gain employment, and increase their household income. We had 26 graduates become successfully employed. Not only did the individuals increase their income, this created a $787,640 “social cost avoidance”, which refers to the expenses taxpayers would have incurred for unemployment, rent/utility assistance, emergency room usage, and criminal justice costs.

“My STEP experience was a a total contrast to what my life was like up until this point. I was referred to United Against Poverty by one of their community partner organizations and I began the STEP program uncertain and unsure, not knowing what to expect, but desperately wanting something different. I was not disappointed; the experience was extraordinary!”
