Welcome to the SERJobs' application page!

For 60 years, SERJobs has transformed the lives of individuals through education,  skill-based training, employment, and long-term financial stability. Most recently, we added Digital Navigation and access to our list of primary services as

Flagship Lift Zone supported by Comcast.


SERJobs is Where Opportunity Works! We are excited to serve you! Our services are open to those who qualify for our programs and are committed to working together to achieve transformation. 


Many people apply to SERJobs for training, but we are much more than a training center.


When you apply to SERJobs, you apply to be a member of our community, which gives you:

  • Career coaching, which takes into account your experience, talents, aptitudes, limitations, and hopes.
  • Financial counseling to help you establish credit and build assets.
  • Skill-based training and job readiness instruction. 
  • Connection to our employer network in high growth, high demand career pathways. 

Right now, we are accepting applications for:

  • Adults over the age of 24 in Harris, Fort Bend, and Galveston County
  • Youth 16-24, no longer in school and now working, in any of of the 13 Gulf Coast Counties 
  • Veterans and Veterans Re-entry 
  • Women interested in non-traditional occupations (including Electrician, Construction, HVAC, etc.)

Once you apply, you should expect up to 3 business days before we process your application and you hear from us. When you do, you will be invited to a mandatory in-person orientation session at our 1710 Telephone Road location. (If you cannot attend this in person, please speak to your Navigator about other options.)


After the orientation session, you will be asked to provide the following information: 

  1. Government-issued ID
  2. Social Security Card
  3. Documentation of Income (if applicable) 
The sooner you can provide that information, the sooner you will be assigned a coach, so it is in your best interest to compile that information after you apply while waiting to hear from a Navigator. 

Once you provide the necessary documentation, you will be asked to take an assessment to help us better understand your aptitudes and desires.  This document will serve as a conversation starter between you and your new coach.
 

You will be asked to take a drug test, which you must pass to be considered for employment. If you do not feel you can pass one at this time, it is best to wait until you can, or you can discuss this with the Navigator. 


Once you have completed all documentation and the assessments, which can take up to one week, you will begin working with your coach. 


The goal is for the active period of engagement with SERJobs to last approximately three months from enrollment to engagement, though some progress faster and others need more time. 


Should you be satisfied with this approach, we welcome you to proceed with this application. Thank you for trusting us as your partner on this journey!
