The Champions Network – Workforce Development
The purpose of the Workforce Development component of the Champions is to empower those in recovery and after care to begin to re-enter the workforce and begin to establish a regularly scheduled work time.
Workforce Development Components
1.) Recruitment – we ask individuals that come out to our Champions meetings on Wednesday nights or that are in other recovery groups in our area that are actively looking for employment.
2.) Activation – the individual attends an informational meeting, and then sets up a schedule with the team lead that will meet their needs to continue in recovery and aftercare along with an effective work schedule.
3.) Results – Since the inception of Workforce Development in January of 2024 our median is:
103 work days total.
29 different individuals have participated in the program.
8 of the 29 are now employed in our community!
