Kulanu’s Employment Services provide employment readiness and coaching for individuals routinely 17 years and older. Staff assist clients in identifying vocationally related themes such as their interests, skills, aptitudes, learning styles, and preferred work environments. Work readiness and self-advocacy skill development are key components to this process, better bolstering those served to participate in either community-based internships or secure paid employment. Once an internship or job is secured, the vocational team provides job coaching supports “in order to enhance continued growth”.
Kulanu partners with School Districts to learn and expose students to the World of Work. From Kulanu’s classroom “Travel the World of Work” curriculum, to community field visits, internships and job placement, students are prepared for the transition from student to a young adult entering the labor force.
Community-based Pre-vocational Services provide real life experiences where individuals can develop “soft skills” and prepare them to achieve vocational-valued outcomes. As a result, individuals better understand expected behaviors in the work environment and strengthen skills that contribute to employability.
Supported Employment and Employment Training provides person-centered, employment-driven plans rooted in a comprehensive evaluation process that
discerns each individual’s skills, aptitudes and interests, in order to help reach the goal of obtaining and maintaining gainful employment.
