AmeriCorps members in the EMPOWER Project will provide direct individualized support to participants as they prepare for employment.
Members will deliver job readiness training, facilitate peer mentoring sessions, and coach participants on communication, time management, and workplace skills.
They will support career exploration, help participants set employment goals, and assist with developing individualized employment plans.
Members will also guide participants through workplace rotations and job shadowing experiences, providing on-site coaching, feedback, and encouragement.
Throughout the program, members will track progress, lead reflection activities, connect participants to community resources, and support the transition into competitive, integrated employment.
