Our History
Why FIT Was Founded
FIT was founded because we saw a need in our community that was unmet by any other organization: People need to, and want to, support their families without public assistance. The problem is, without education or employment history, you can’t get, and keep, a job that pays enough to make the family self-sufficient.
Our mission became to help the underemployed and unemployed in southern Nevada gain the vocational education and job training to get that well-paying job. From the very beginning, our program design included matching each client to a Case Manager who works with them one-on-one. While we don’t duplicate services that are available elsewhere in the community, we do make sure that each client has all of the resources they need to overcome each of their barriers to employment.
We believe that at the bottom line, self-sufficient employment is the answer to so many other issues, including homelessness, hunger and even the crime rate.

FIT provides job training, coaching and support based on job seekers’ individual needs and the skills employers tell us they are looking for.

Our Impact
Our Vision
Self-Sufficiency Builds Stronger Communities
When people can support their own family by themselves through their employment and without public assistance, they gain dignity and self-respect.
As self-sufficient, productive members of the workforce, people can give back to their community and provide a secure future for themselves and their families.
Our Success
Personal Support.
Our success comes from our compassionate one-on-one case management together with services that clients need.
Through the generosity of grants and support from donors, FIT is able to meet the growing need in our community by advancing people into long-term, self-sufficient employment.
Our Solution
Building Pathways to Long-Term Employment
FIT helps individuals overcome barriers to employment through vocational training, career preparation, case management, and personalized support designed around real workforce needs.
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, we work one-on-one with each participant to identify goals, connect them with resources, and create a path toward stable, self-sufficient employment. From job readiness and career coaching to training opportunities and ongoing guidance, our programs are built to support long-term success — not just short-term placement.
