Are you interested in becoming an employer?
If you are interested in employing Petoskey Club members through our Transitional Employment program, please Contact us. Our staff, working one-on-one with our members, guarantees that the job will be done satisfactorily every day.
The Clubhouse also supports members with attaining other jobs in the community by helping with job searches, resume development, interviewing skills, determining schedules, transportation, social security benefits management, and job coaching at the work site if/when desired by members. The Clubhouse also assists members in returning to school, ranging from high school completion, tutoring, or college coursework.
Emphasis on Employment
Members are encouraged to consider the pursuit of integrated community employment. By co-working during the work-ordered day there are opportunities to understand the challenges members may have about going to work. The Clubhouse accepts members where they are and we provide any supports needed for members to enter the workforce.
