Building Confidence, Creating Opportunities
Empower
This vocational program equips neurodiverse individuals with the skills needed to thrive in both professional and social environments. Through hands-on training, real-world exposure, and personalized development plans, we create pathways to sustainable employment and community readiness. Empower caters to older learners (aged 14 and above) preparing for vocational training
Empower is a bridge program for individuals preparing for independent living in the larger community. The focus is on building self-confidence, fostering community engagement and enhancing employability through individual profiling and job sampling. Empower mimics an office setting, where individuals learn skills for formal employment (e.g., email correspondence, digital literacy, managing deadlines, keeping inventory, financial management).
At the core of Empower is the concept of ‘Earn & Learn’- where money earned through the week is spent on fun hangouts in the community each Friday. With a strong emphasis on emotional regulation, this program equips individuals to advocate for their needs and explore their unique identity. Schedule a call with us to know more!
