Pre-placement Services
Every participant at CEO is assigned a job coach who helps him or her get ready for full time employment. The job coach's work with all participants includes developing a resume, practicing interviewing (particularly answering the "conviction question") and learning job search skills. Other work will vary, depending on what issues each participant must work through to become job-start ready. Job coaches help participants address challenges with timeliness on the paid transitional worksites, or workplace behavior or dress. They can help a participant find resources to deal with personal or family challenges.
To ensure clients are job-start ready, CEO has identified five behaviors that employers want to see in a new hire, and that CEO requires on its worksites and in its offices. Called the CEO’s Company Principles of Success, or CEOCPs, these behaviors are:
Cooperation with supervisor
Effort at work
On time
Cooperation with co-workers
Personal presentation
Participants' progress in mastering these behaviors is evaluated every day in a portable Passport to Success. Each day transitional work supervisors give participants a numerical rating on each behavior in their Passport to Success. Job Coaches look at participants' progress on the Passport to Success and advise participants on how they might strengthen any behaviors that need improvement. When participants and job coaches work together on these behaviors so that participants are job start ready, on average around three weeks after enrollment, participants move on to active job development.
