EMPLOYER SERVICES
Harbor House provides employers with prepared, skilled and dedicated employees.
TRANSITIONAL EMPLOYMENT
The Transitional Employment program provides members with part time, short-term work experience with full support from Harbor House staff. These jobs are dedicated Harbor House positions paid by the employer at competitive wages. Members hold these jobs for six to nine months working 15-20 hours a week, after which a new member is placed into the job.
Harbor House staff provide all placement, on-the-job training, and job supports. Harbor House guarantees the position is filled daily. If a member is unable to work, a qualified member or Harbor House staff will fill in to cover the duties. If a staff person covers the day it is at no cost to the employer.
