WORK FIRST is an employment program designed to assist recipients of Temporary Aid for Needy Families (TANF) and funded the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) that focuses on work experience leading to full-time employment.

Our clients complete MACID‘s unique Job Readiness Training and are assigned to local employers/partners to gain the skills, knowledge, and experience needed to obtain and sustain employment.

Here at MACID, we help to prepare you for every step of the process. From resume writing, interviewing, computer skills, to job placement; the staff at MACID are available to assist you.

Supportive services and retention services are provided to ensure the client’s success while participating in the program.
