We are pleased to announce our newest TE partnership has begun with TJ MAXX.
Our first position started in April with a second position beginning in the near future. TJ MAXX recently opened its new store on Kennedy Memorial Drive in Waterville.
High Hopes Clubhouse has a long track record of initiating and developing Transitional Employment. We have worked with companies to place members on transitional employment jobs at their place of business since 1997. Through the Transitional Employment (TE) program.
These placements are transitional in two senses: they let members ease into
the world of work with a direct connection to the job, as well as on the job
training and job site visits from High Hopes placement managers. Typically, each
placement lasts between six and nine months. The member may then move on to
other placements until they are ready for a less supported job.
Companies benefit from TE. They find enthusiastic, trained workers at
prevailing wages. If a member needs to be absent, another member or a staff
worker fills in. And when a member moves to another assignment, High Hopes
trains the replacement.
