Is there a process for the provider/employer of record to give feedback to the participant on their progress toward meeting the training objective? Yes No Provide a brief explanation that describes how the provider focuses on moving participants promptly into regular, unsubsidized employment. Our innovative, employer-informed training programs are designed to meet specific labor demands. For example, AWDC operates pre-apprenticeship trainings tailored for management-level careers. In partnership with Starbucks and Whole Foods, we co-developed customized bridge training programs that include virtual employer-specific instruction, pre-apprenticeship mentoring, and direct access to company hiring events upon completion.
