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. Participants are trained in mechanical skills and an array of transferable skills including customer service, inventory management, and point of sale operation. These basic job skills are underdeveloped in many of our participants initially, but over time the program instills the personal and social skills necessary to acquire and maintain employment. In the latter months of internship, each trainee is supported in the refinement and submission of their resume to prospective employers, and also encouraged to meet with a college counselor, complete an application for student aid, and explore educational opportunities. Clinical coaching support dedicated to the improvement of stress management further enhances each graduate's confidence, and disposition as they transition into the workplace and/or higher education. Additionally, extension of employment at the Northwest Hub is an option for consideration on a case-by-case basis according to each trainee's ability and needs.
