Adult Career Pathways

KOM provides vocational training opportunities for immigrants and refugees in a variety of fields. KOM saw the need for immigrants and refugees to receive further career development opportunities, so we expanded our employment program to do this.

KOM offers a Translating & Interpreting (TRIN) program where participants will complete coursework, work with a job counselor to advance their careers, and benefit from ongoing college support.

KOM also offers Healthcare Programs to immigrants and refugees where, upon completion, participants receive a certificate and support taking state certification exams.

KOM’s Apprenticeship and Manufacturing Ready (AMR) training provides an introduction to a variety of trade skills, career counseling, certification opportunities and placement in a sustainable career.

KOM now offers Move Up in Manufacturing, a training for participants who want to pursue any career field. It teaches valuable skills used in every profession with a focus on manufacturing careers.

KOM’s Forklift and Commercial Driver’s License (On-Ramp) training is for individuals who want to pursue a warehouse and transportation career. Participants will earn a forklift license and be prepared for the CDL Class A permit test.
