Work Support
Work that Works for You
If you’re in Travis County and between the ages of 16–26, our Workforce Development services will help you find and keep a job that actually matches your goals. Whether you’re dealing with housing challenges, mental health issues, a record, or whatever—you're in the right place.
No ID? No resume? No prior employment experience? No idea what you want to do? No problem.
If you want to find a job, we can help. Get started through a LifeWorks staff member or community partner.
What You’ll Get
What you'll get:
One-on-one support from someone focused on your success
Help with resumes, applications, interviews

Referrals to other services, either at LifeWorks or in the community
How We Do It
We use an evidence-based approach called Individual Placement and Support (IPS)—but here’s the real deal:
You lead the way.
We focus on your strengths and your goals, not a one-size-fits-all plan. We work fast to help you start earning, then stay with you as long as you need us. That way, work feels doable, not overwhelming.
Why? Because when you choose your path, you’re more likely to stick with it—and that’s what creates long-term success.

We’ll help you:
Explore options – College, certifications, or vocational programs that fit your goals.
Handle the details – Applications, enrollment, and guidance on financial aid.
Stay on track – Ongoing check-ins to help you finish strong.
Then, when you’re ready, we’ll help you get right back to work, with the added skills and confidence to land the job you want.
More Skills. More Opportunities. Same Support.
Sometimes your dream job needs more school or training first.
