Workforce Transitions

If you are looking to transition to a different job or finding new employment, Kish has the resources for you.

Everyone's educational journey is different. We find solutions to help people transition into the workforce. Adults, dislocated workers and teenagers come to us for help with career and training services. Some supports we provide to eligible participants include:

  • Office technology for career exploration and job search. This includes computers with internet access, printers, fax machines, telephones and accessibility equipment for individuals with physical, visual and hearing impairments.
  • Career planning for employment and training along with community referrals.
  • Financial assistance of up to $10,000 for suitable and eligible students enrolled in a high-demand occupation.
  • Weekly workshops to develop job search skills, basic computer literacy, and assistance with resume and cover letter writing.
