New Dreamcenter to bring job training, opportunities to South Lansing

Eaglevision Ministries has been working to empower people in Lansing to become job-ready for years. Now they'll be able to expand upon that work with the grand opening of their International DreamCenter.

 

"The DreamCenter is a relatively new concept," says Eaglevision Executive Director Dr. LaClaire Bouknight. "It's basically a center that works to have a major impact on the community."

 

The International DreamCenter is located at 2200 S. Cedar, where Eaglevision has had programming in the past, but now is expanding its use through the entire building. It is located near the organization's microenterprises, Dreamworks Detailing and Dreamcones & Deli. 

 

Though its six workforce development programs and these businesses, Eaglevision Ministries gives job training opportunities to job seekers with barriers to employment, such as lack of experience or past incarceration. 

 

"We have people who want to work but have no real, credible work experience," Bouknight says. "It gives us a chance to give them, not just the skills for the job, but the soft skills of the chain of command in a workplace and how to work with customers."
