My son Aiden used this program, and he gained so much insight and confidence about going into a job interview and getting a job. He was hired on after the program hours ended and I am happy to say, he is still employed with the same company. Id highly recommend KC Special Recruits.

KC Special Recruits is a wonderful program for individuals with disabilities, to seek employment training. Ms. Howard, who is the director over the program, is fantastic with her hard work and dedication towards the program. We need this type of experience for students with disabilities.

Helping my daughter find the elusive “ideal fit” for a first employment experience was challenging on our own. When we signed up with pre-ETS and my daughter was able to collaborate with Edie at KC Special Recruits, it was far more valuable than I could have imagined. Edie took time to really get to know Brooklyn and craft a thoughtful and descriptive resume. She also coached her through interview preparation and pre-employment training to know about social and professional norms in the work environment. She referred information to us when we needed it and provided support with getting established at her Work Based Learning Experience. The placement was such an optimal fit that the animal clinic offered Brooklyn an official position on their team. I cannot thank Edie enough for helping Brooklyn enter the workforce with new skills and confidence!

I can’t say enough about Edie Howard and the encouragement and support she gave my son Mason. She helped him write a résumé and walked him through the job search process step-by-step. More than that, she believed in him and gave him the courage he needed to take the first step towards applying for his first job. Edie went above and beyond by meeting Mason on the first day of his interview, giving him the encouragement and coaching he needed her guidance and willingness to personally invest in him, gave him the push he needed. We are incredibly grateful for the impact she has had on Mason.
