World of Work

World of Work programs were developed in 1999, offering job search skills and placement assistance to adults (over age 18) who have mental illness along with a history of substance dependence or a history of homelessness. The program provides individual coaching and group workshops to prepare the job-seeker for employment. They teach resume writing, interview techniques, job expectations, time management, money management, how to interact with the boss and co-workers, and much more. Post employment support is provided.
