The Work Advancement and Support Center's goals are to help low-wage workers upgrade their skills and to help business retain workers. Two models are currently being piloted. The Career Center model is EarnMore, administered by Seedco at its Central Harlem career center. EarnMore offers career coaching and skills training to help participants earn more in the work place. Coaches are based in Manhattan, the Bronx and at the career center. The Employer Focused Model is based at the Bedford-Stuyvesant WASC and supports activities of employers who want to help train their workers for higher jobs. These programs are for those 18 and older who earn $14 an hour or less or who have incomes at or below 200% of the poverty level. You receive a monthly Metro Card (up to 6) after you achieve your goal.
