Transitional Employment     

Transitional Employment is one of the major components of the Evergreen Club and helps members get real jobs in the community at competitive wages. It makes it possible for individuals who have no work history or previous work failures to access job placement.  For these members, the Rehabilitation Specialist provides on site job coaching and training, and if needed, will provide work coverage during the member's absence. Transitional Employment Placements (TEP) last between six and nine months are designed to be part-time, entry-level positions. In addition to helping members find and keep employment, the Club House helps with benefit management and provides on-going support to those who find independent work. As members' needs, skills, and desires change, the Employment Specialist helps the members revise their job goals and plans. The Employment Specialist also provides coordination with other employment services and advice on reasonable accommodation in keeping with the ADA.
