Humanim created the Administrative Assistant Training Program as a demonstration pilot in 2015, with funding from DLLR and the Mayor\u2019s Office of Employment Development grant, One Baltimore for Jobs (1B4J), in response to the civil unrest after the death of Freddie Gray. Key program collaborators are the Baltimore Integration Partnership (BIP) and anchor institutions, who formed a partnership to leverage the economic power of \u201cAnchor Institutions\u201d through local hiring, local purchasing and anchor-led community development, to address economic disparities among Baltimore residents.<\/p>\n
Humanim\u2019s admin training program offers a free 9-week course of instruction for Baltimore City and County residents to prepare them for careers as administrative assistants. Human Resources representatives of the anchor institutions participate on a steering committee helping to design the curriculum and facilitate job shadowing, mock interviews, and job development support. Participants are provided soft skills and professional development training. Graduates receive two nationally-recognized certifications \u2013 the Microsoft Specialist Office Specialist certification and the Professional Administrative Certificate of Excellence. Participating anchors have committed to consider graduates of the training program to fill administrative vacancies at their institutions. Through their partnership, 47 of our 70 placements have been by an anchor institution.<\/p>\n
