Partners for Work
Rotarians can open doors! Partners for Work (PFW) has been a Rotary District 5030 project since 2008 and is up for renewal in 2013. This project creates employment opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities by utilizing Rotarian business leadership as a vital link between job candidates and paid work. Debbie Moore, Coordinator works with Rotarians, clubs, school districts and employment support agencies to pull all entities together. Job candidates have learned valuable skills to offer the workplace yet their employment rate is often very low and many cannot meet the established job requirements set by human resource departments within business. Rotarians are often the top people in their companies and play a key networking and leadership role in helping open the door towards paid employment. See more...

Rotary Mock Interview Sessions:
Through mock interviews Rotarians can offer an exceptional experience for Transition students. As business representatives we can provide an actual interview exercise where students can share their resume, experiences and skills. Rotarians provide students feedback on their marketable skills, dependable strengths and assess their interview technique. This information is invaluable to students and teachers as they develop their career portfolios in preparation of exiting the school system. Each student will leave with a certificate of completion after being introduced to the club from a Rotarian that interviewed them. Watch our video! See more...
