There are two kinds of entry level jobs. There are the professional track positions that are typically targeted towards recent college grads (what we try to cover), and the jobs that have very minimal education and experience requirements.

Today many of the best job opportunities in that second category are in the food service industry. That’s why FareStart is focused on them. They are a Seattle, WA based non-profit that “transforms lives by empowering homeless and disadvantaged men, women, and families to achieve self-sufficiency through life skills, job training and employment in the food service industry.”
