Employment

Transitional Employment

TEs are the most supported form of employment opportunities that clubhouse provides.
Typically, members work 12-20/hours per week at the minimum wage rate for the duration of 6-9 months.
TEs are designed this way in order to boost a member's employment record especially if this is their first job or there has been a lapse of time between jobs.
TEs help build self-esteem and involve the clubhouse staff learning the job first, training the member who is placed in the job and offering absentee coverage at no cost to the employer.
TEs allow for building business partners in the community. Clubhouse maintains a strong relationship with the employer. This is a win-win situation. There is community awareness about clubhouse and annually one of the TE partners are selected for an award and recognized in Lansing for their exceptional support of clubhouse.
