14. Follow -Up Services A. All youth participants will receive follow-up services for a minimum of 12 months after exiting the program (option to complete virtual or in -person at Career Success Center). This begins with an exit survey that includes a client testimonial and feedback about services upon exit. After exiting the program, clients will still receive updates about job opportunities, resources and Working Wardrobes events through a period email distribution newsletter. Clients may also request to utilize the Job Search Lab located at the Career Success Center to access the computers and resource library. The Career Navigator will conduct quarterly check -ins for one year post exit. These services will be personalized to each participant's needs and include ongoing support to help them maintain employment, pursue further education, and address any challenges they may encounter in their career journey. B. The Career Navigator will continue their case management and serve as the primary point of contact, offering personalized coaching and mentoring throughout the follow-up process. This continuous support will help participants address any challenges they encounter in areas such as job retention, career advancement, and further education. By offering tailored guidance, the Career Navigator will ensure that participants stay on track to achieve their long-term goals. This may include connecting them to resources that will help remove newly discovered barriers to completing certification programs and/or maintaining employment. C.
