LearnLiveLaunch™ helps individuals re-imagine their future through vocational programs. The organization brings resources to people who need access to education, experiences, and life opportunities that will help relaunch them into a new and successful direction.
THE PROBLEMThe problem is demand for a quality workforce far outweighs the supply of qualified labor. Additionally, workforce opportunities can sometimes be 1-2 hours away from where workers may live, leading to long commutes. Furthermore, those individuals needing a “second chance” may have difficulty repatriating back into the workforce. This is due to the fact that they may be transitioning from being incarcerated at one time, having intellectual or developmental delays (IDD), substance use disorders (SUD), being homeless or transient, abused, divorced, bankrupt or any other life challenges that have caused them to be marginalized by society.
Bethel Cannon Ranch serves as the Campus for programs funded by Learn Live Launch, a 501 C 3 nonprofit whose mission is to help individuals reimagine their future through vocational training. |
THE SOLUTIONLIVELEARNLAUNCH has developed an exceptional village-based approach to workforce empowerment. The organization leverages existing groups who have a shared interest in life/workforce development and partners with them to have active ready-to-go educational/vocational opportunities for them to deploy people into. The built environment of LLL utilizes existing assets on the campus of Bethel Cannon Ranch and converts them into bed and breakfast, event venue, corporate retreat and other marketable opportunities.
The LLL approach to workforce development presents the following advantages: 1) It presents a pathway to independence 2) It elevates and strengthens one’s self-esteem 3) It produces workers who achieve life and market skills The goal is to create a place where all people; especially people with special needs can learn the skills to be able to pursue and achieve their dreams. |
LEARNLLL takes the time to learn about each candidate for our training programs. We invest time getting to know them personally. Who are they? What are their God given talents? What are they passionate about? What careers can utilize their talents? What do they need to learn to achieve their dream? How can we best teach them the skills that they need to succeed? They will also learn basic skills to help them in life: from budgeting their money to interviewing skills, to how to balance life and family. Everyone in our programs will learn to see the best in themselves so they can go forward and follow their dreams. |
LIVEWe believe that each candidate in LLL training programs will get the most out of their experience if they live it. Some classroom style learning is important. But, we believe that experiential learning will bring out the best in each candidate. They live these skills by working as an intern using the job skills they will need for their chosen career. Whether they work on the ranch or with a partnering company, we will be paying their labor costs and supervise their progress while they learn. With hands on learning and mentorship provided, each candidate will be prepared to live out their true passions. |
LAUNCHOne equipped with knowledge and experience, we help prepare each candidate for the professional world of business by teaching them about proper business attire for job interviews, workplace culture and tools they need for success. For instance, someone who graduates from our Culinary program may receive a set of Chef’s knives as part of their Launch. Someone else may need help getting enrolled in school to further their careers, and LLL may pay for their first semester. In the end, we strive to give each candidate the assistance they need to successfully launch into the future. |
