Yes No Provide a brief explanation that describes how the provider focuses on moving participants promptly into regular, unsubsidized employment. The Employment Culinary Coordinator works individually with participants throughout their work-based learning experience to assist them to move into unsubsidized, regular employment. This support includes working with participants to identify employment opportunities aligned to their career goals, assisting them to prepare resumes and cover letters, and helping them practice for job interviews. In addition to engaging with outside employers that can offer career-oriented jobs, the Employment Culinary Coordinator also works closely with Homeward Bound social enterprise businesses to help participants move into permanent employment positions in-house when possible and as aligned to their individual career goals.
