About WFNJ Programs at Waters & Sims
Since 1996 Waters & Sims has partnered with Monmouth County and Ocean County to provide employment services to participants receiving WFNJ/GA benefits. Through the many changes of Welfare to Work, Waters & Sims has continued to maintain its dedication to assisting clients in need with their search for employment through a variety of programs. In Ocean County, we currently instruct the START Program/ Introduction to Leisure, Hospitality & Retail Careers Program that provides WFNJ participants high-quality vocational training in the leisure, hospitality and retail industries, and the opportunity to obtain a professional certification through the American Hotel & Lodging Educational Institute (AHLEI). Job readiness and life skills counseling and referrals to supportive services will be provided as needed.
As a WFNJ training provider, our programs are devoted to our specific students’ needs and development of their skills that are necessary to enrich themselves in their careers.
