Building confidence, skills, and opportunity through individualized coaching and group education in employment, education, financial empowerment, life skills, and resource navigation.
Every participant moves through a structured process — from intake and assessment to graduation and long-term follow-up.
Complete intake, a barrier assessment, and identify strengths, immediate needs, personal goals, and priorities.
Work one-on-one with an Inua facilitator to build an Individual Success Plan covering personal, employment, education, financial, and life-skills goals, along with barriers, action steps, and needed resources.
Participate in individual coaching sessions and group workshops covering workforce readiness, financial empowerment, education and skill development, and life skills.
Review progress, measure changes, identify remaining barriers, and adjust goals and services as needed.
Repeat relevant assessments, measure skill and confidence changes, review goals, document accomplishments, and establish a post-program plan.
Inua maintains contact through structured follow-ups to measure longer-term outcomes and continued progress.
The program addresses interconnected areas that influence a participant's ability to move forward — not just one outcome like employment alone.
Alongside the four core curriculum areas, participants receive resource navigation, referrals, technology support, workforce and educational connections, community resource information, and individualized support based on their identified barriers.
Laptops and internet/Wi-Fi access to support learning and job searching.
Educational materials, journals, and supplies, plus a participant workbook.
Meals provided during group programming sessions.
Access to guest professionals, subject-matter experts, and community partners.
