With thousands of individuals unemployed in the Kansas City area, Jewish Family Services (JFS) and Jewish Vocational Services (JVS) have enhanced Career Skills and Connections, a program offering executive coaching and employment assistance for individuals from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds with a variety of work histories and experiences.
Services include one-on-one career coaching, group workshops including Coffee Connections, job placement, application assistance and access to resources through JVS’s Workforce Development Advisory Council. Clients receive assistance creating individual career plans, crafting an elevator speech, identifying job strategies and creating a compelling LinkedIn profile. In addition, individuals also learn interview and resume skills, how to transition careers and how to negotiate salaries. All services are available virtually.
To join the program, individuals must be 18 years-old or older, eligible to work in the United States and have a high school diploma or GED. For more information and to register, contact Sabrina Simon at or 816-895-2764.
The Career Skills and Connections Program is funded in part by the Jewish Federation of Greater Kansas City.
