• Personalized Career Planning
  Every participant begins with a one-on-one meeting with a dedicated Career Coach. Using conversation, assessments, and a strengths-based approach, we create a career plan built with each individual.
• Coaching That Moves You Forward
  Coaches help participants set clear goals, stay accountable, and keep going even when things get tough. Each plan includes short-term income strategies and long-term career goals, updated regularly based on progress.
• Removing Barriers, Delivering Support
  We know life can make employment tough. That’s why we help address real-life challenges like transportation, childcare, housing, and mental health—ensuring services are not just offered, but delivered and effective.
• Ongoing Guidance and Encouragement
  Regular check-ins—virtual or in-person—help keep momentum going. Coaches offer job leads, training tips, and direct outreach that builds confidence, resilience, and results.

• Training with Purpose
  We connect participants to training that matches their career goals and local job opportunities. Whether it’s a short-term certificate or an industry credential, training is never one-size-fits-all—it’s guided and supported every step of the way.
• Real Experience, Real Jobs
  Through On-the-Job Training, apprenticeships, and customized employer-led programs, participants gain hands-on experience while earning wages. These opportunities offer a direct path to employment.
• Support During the Journey
  Coaches stay in close contact during training to address emerging needs and ensure continued progress. Support services like transportation, digital access, and co-enrollment with adult education programs help participants succeed.

• Youth at the Center
  K2C is designed with youth, not just for them. From peer mentoring to youth-led councils, young people take the lead in shaping their futures—and the program.
• Clear Pathways, Real Support
  After a quick and easy intake, each participant receives a personalized plan built around their unique interests, skills, and goals. We work to remove barriers early and connect youth to the services and resources they need to succeed.
• Career Discovery & Experience
  Using the RIASEC framework, we help youth explore career pathways that match their passions and strengths. Work experiences are aligned with their long-term goals and offer growth opportunities.
