Community Work Placements Training

OTEC’s community work placements program aims for teaching practical on-the-job experience that can be applied to a variety of work settings.

Training includes:

  • Employment skills – assessment and skill building;
  • Career counseling/assessment;
  • Transition to work readiness;
  • Job preparation – Resumes, interviews, dress atire, workplace policies, etc.;
  • Job matching – as much as possible, self-directed job search with ‘job matching’ primary goal.

  • Community Work Placements –  Two important goals of community work placements are (1) to raise awareness and enhance the level of understanding of community members and peers, that OTEC participants be considered active citizens and valuable employees within community organizations and (2) that OTEC participants are performing at their full potential whenever safe and possible to do so.In addition to helping locate and secure paid work placements, once Employment placement is underway, OTEC provides employment services and support to both the Employers and OTEC work program participants.These services are facilitated through a variety of means and based on individual needs.

  • Services provided include:
    • On-Site Support as needed. This can mean full time support, part time support, or occasional support;
    • Employment Maintenance/Monitoring. Regardless of the level of support an OTEC work participant may require, our Community Placement Coordinators do not wait for a phone call from employers. Regular check-ins form a part of our service.
