Employment Services offered by Clubhouse Programs
"Clubhouses and their emphasis on employment in the community help give people with disabilities dignity, purpose, confidence, and a well-deserved sense that they are contributors to their community, not dependents of it."
~Paul LePage, Governor of Maine
A core component of the Clubhouse model is providing opportunities for clubhouse members to return to paid competitive employment. Clubhouse members choose from an array of employment options to meet their individual needs. In some cases, clubhouse members are able to coordinate and combine services offered by the Clubhouse and the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation. Clubhouse Employment Programs include:
Transitional Employment
Transitional Employment Placements (TEP) are time-limited (6-9 months), part-time positions which offer Clubhouse members an opportunity to re-engage into the workforce. Characteristics of TEP include:
- A variety of job opportunities located in real employment settings
- As an employee, the member is paid the prevailing wage by the employer
- Selection and training is the responsibility of Clubhouse Job Placement Managers
- Job Placement Managers support members on and off the job site, ensure that the work is completed to the employer's satisfaction and guarantee coverage in the event of employee absence
Supported / Independent Employment
Supported / Independent Employment Placements are full or part-time positions which are not time-limited. Clubhouses assist and support members to obtain, sustain and subsequently, to better their employment. Characteristics include:
- Resume writing, job applications and interviewing skills
- On and off-site support based on the needs and desires of the individual
