Puget Sound Training Center

To date, Puget Sound Training Center has served over 8,500 clients and placed over 4,800 participants in various employment opportunities throughout King County. Due to our bilingual and diverse case managers, we have served individuals from Mexico, Russia, Africa, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Burma, Somalia, Sudan, and more. Our case managers meet our clients on their level of English proficiency, which allows us to fill in the gaps by speaking the many languages needed by our clients.  The program services offered by PSTC and designed by Safeway Distribution Center with Teamsters Union 117 consist of several components including comprehensive case management: job placement, retention, resume building, mock interviews, wage progression, financial literacy, and life skills. Our customized skills training programs which Safeway heavily contributed to cover Forklift/Warehouse training, Electric Pallet Jack training, Computer Basics, Customer Service, and CPR/First Aid & AED training.
