SUPPORTING CLIENTS IN FINDING EMPLOYMENT

Whether they need extra help finding the perfect job or more hands-on assistance going through the employment process, KANDU is here to provide support and encouragement. Our Job Training and Employment Programs give participants the chance to find meaningful work, while earning an income, making friends, and growing and thriving in a safe and family-like work environment.

PROVIDING LIFE CHANGING JOB OPPORTUNITIES

Since 2009, KANDU’s community employment program has paired our clients with meaningful employment at local businesses. By identifying and developing job opportunities in the community, our program managers help break down many of the barriers to employment that our clients have faced in the past and help them gain a sense of independence and reach their full potential.

The program helps with:

• Employment preparation, including resume development, application assistance and interview techniques
• Networking opportunities
• Job placement
• Job shadowing
• One-on-one job training

Once employed, clients receive regular support and feedback from staff to ensure their needs are being met and the employment opportunity is a good match. KANDU staff works with the client and employer to provide:
