The Nextwork Employment process begins with unique, strengths-based assessments designed to remove anxiety from the situation and provide an opportunity for our clients to show their strengths. 

Using Lego robotics kits, we observe the client’s visual spatial ability, what type of learner they are, how they handle questions and challenges, and their problem recognition and solving skills. 

The assessment is a key element in identifying a career path and where an individual is in their progression to their job of choice. Following the assessment, we make recommendations for next steps, which include Job Readiness Training or Job Development. We also may have a group class on career exploration or workplace behavior. Our group classes combine traditional learning with applied activities to give students an opportunity to practice what they learn. 

Job Readiness, Development, & Coaching 

This training includes exploration of skills to identify career paths and different ways to begin a path to a more specific job in a chosen field. 

This path may include additional education and certification, social skills training, and/or life skills training. Some of this training is provided by NextWork classes. If we don’t offer needed training, we recommend other organizations or schools that can provide that training. Job Readiness Training is an individualized, hourly service provided by our Life-Skills Coaches or our Employment Specialist.
