The Need For Middle-Skill Jobs

Middle-skills jobs (i.e., jobs requiring a high school diploma and some postsecondary education or training but not a bachelor’s degree) pay family-sustaining wages and offer career pathways with opportunities for advancement. Nearly 1 million Houstonians lack the qualifications to fill these positions!

SERJobs bridges the gap between existing worker skillsets and skills that are needed to enter careers that pay living wages. Our services are offered at no cost to members. We partner with employers to curate training programs to fit the community’s needs and ensure SERJobs members are competitive candidates in today’s job market.
