Kindly Gifted & SOAR Program partnership for job training

Did you know that:

Research consistently shows that:

• Early job experience (during high school) doubles the likelihood of employment after graduation.
• Students who receive transition services (career counseling, job coaching and training) have higher employment rates and higher wages later in life.
• Lack of access to inclusive training programs in high school is a major barrier.

The SOAR program helps students build:

• Workplace readiness
• Social and communication skills
• Career awareness
• Hands‑on experience
• A pathway to competitive employment
