Community Approach & Impact
Our Approach
Our process of community engagement often involves integrating practices of preventing discrimination, correcting imbalances, and managing relationships of difference. These tools can help to increase diversity, promote cultural competence, and enhance organizational credibility and effectiveness of our programs. ConXión builds ongoing, permanent relationships for the purpose of applying a collective vision for the benefit of our community.
ConXión offers participants assessments of basic skills, career interests and career ability. Most training programs also provide a two week assessment period that allows both the participant and the instructor time to determine if this is the right training for you.
ConXión experience shows that case management services are critical to assist individuals overcome multiple barriers to employment. ConXión Case Managers are experienced in providing assessment and case management services to hard-to-serve individuals, meeting with them on a regular basis to monitor their progress, address any issues that arise, and make adjustments to their Individual Employment Plan, as needed. Staff has strong knowledge of and established relationships with a wide range of resource referral agencies throughout Santa Clara County. Case Managers identify other types of assistance that may be needed by participants, including transportation, uniforms or tools required for employment, and child care.
Case Managers are responsible for ensuring that each participant makes progress towards the end goal of program completion, and then of employment, that the participant’s civil rights are not violated and that each trainee upholds ConXión’s standards and follows its regulations.
We encourage our staff and program participants to get involved in the community. We sit on community and governmental Boards, Commissions, and Committees. We work within the community to move it towards change for a healthier community for all.

Angelica & Esteban
Angelica, Esteban, and their two young children were referred to the Cultural Broker Program for supportive services and ongoing case management. Upon intake, a comprehensive assessment was completed to identify the family’s immediate and long-term needs, barriers, and strengths in order to develop an appropriate service plan.
Josue
I moved to California from Houston Tx in my early twenty’s. Moving to California was a very unwise decision that when we are young we are not really aware of the consequences of our decisions. I don’t even have family in California for me to have moved here. So, when I got here I was introduced to a lot of things I’ve never since before in my life. Through that I experienced homelessness, struggled with a lot of other personal obstacles. I experienced incarceration.
