Transitional Work
CEO's signature transitional work program offers participants immediate paid employment. This time-limited program follows the pre-employment training and prepares participants with skills and experience essential to gain permanent employment.
Participants work on one of CEO's 35-40 worksites throughout New York City, in crews of 5-9 CEO participants with a CEO-employed supervisor. The crews provide minor repair, maintenance, grounds keeping and janitorial work for public agencies that pay for these services.
During transitional work, participants experience-sometimes for the first time in their lives-what it means to:
• get to work on time
• take direction from a supervisor
• be an appreciated co-worker
• work steadily throughout the workday
• express themselves to their supervisor and co-workers effectively and respectfully.
Through such experiential learning, participants begin to change their workplace behavior and become prepared for the private workforce.
CEO participants remain on transitional jobs for an average of two months before being placed in full time work.
