A comprehensive initiative to bridge the remaining gap between training and employment. This component goes beyond technical skills and focuses on the soft skills and professional behaviors essential for workplace success: time management, interpersonal communication, interview preparation, workplace expectations, and self-advocacy. It will also involve job preparation, simulations such as mock interviews, and engagement events like job fairs and employer roundtables. These are intended not only to prepare deaf job seekers but also to sensitize employers and help them recognize the unique strengths and work ethic of deaf candidates
