What is STEP?
The Success Training Employment Program (STEP) is a program dedicated to enhancing job-readiness skills. The first six weeks is made up of in-class discussion-based learning in the areas of Emotional Intelligence, Empowerment Training, Workplace Skills and Job Acquisition. Following graduation students work with our Workforce Development Manager and Success Coach to help them get hired and stay employed. For more detailed information, please read our STEP FAQ.
Who is Welcome?
Any and every adult 18+ is welcome to participate. The content is designed for those interested in developing a career, who have experienced difficulties finding or keeping a job, or interested in improving their current employment position. We also work with individuals who may have difficulty obtaining employment because of a lack of a GED, have a criminal record, are unstably housed, or lack transportation.
Program Benefits
By participating in STEP, students develop a close community to encourage personal growth. STEP students receive assistance through our Member Share Grocery Program vouchers, bus passes, gas cards or tuition assistance. Participants also have access to social networks created with potential employers in the Central Florida community.

STEP classes take place on the UP Orlando campus daily Monday through Thursday, from 8:45 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Enrollment for new sessions takes place in January, February, April, June, August, September and October.

S.T.E.P Interest Application
“The positivity among the STEP instructors and students was so contagious that I knew right away I was going to stick with it. I really enjoyed being involved in the program, and learned something new every day. Thanks to UP Orlando I have earned my Forklift and Pallet Jack Safety Certification and look forward to putting my skills and passion to work!”
