Job Connect Retention Program
Pyramid believes that the transition from unemployment to work is not completed with the first paycheck. It is a long-term process. Job Connect offers a variety of services to help clients maintain long-term employment. The services available are re-employment assistance, crisis management, referrals to other services, assistance with transitional benefits and emotional support for the stress of full-time employment.

Micro Business Assistance
This hands-on training helps people assess their business goals, develop a business plan, receive technical assistance with financial management and marketing problems; apply for loan financing, link with support groups; and determine their need for professional expertise. These services are offered in group workshops and one-on-one formats. MBA's new business incubator project offers start-up business owners low cost business facilities, technical assistance and support services.
