Wheels to Work
Indego has teamed up with the Better Bike Share Partnership and the City of Philadelphia’s Office of Transportation, Infrastructure, and Sustainability to launch Wheels to Work, a four-week training course for adult job seekers that combines workforce development with learning about Indego and bicycling. Individuals who complete the program will receive a free six-month pass to Indego!
Course Details:
Participants will learn tips on building their resume and LinkedIn page while completing assignments related to Indego and bike safety education. Each week starting May 7th, classes will be held online via Zoom starting at 5:30 PM. All the work for the course will be done online at the participants’ own pace. Plan to allocate approximately 4-6 hours (2 hours of scheduled workshops and 2-4 independent work) each week.
A device with internet access is required to participate in online workshops and complete online assignments individually. Additionally, a course instructor will provide one-on-one and in-person support for those who need it.
In order to successfully complete the program, there will be mandatory attendance at all Wheels to Work Course Days from May 7th to May 28th from 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM. Additionally, all participants will be required to attend both of the bicycle group rides listed below.
