Job Development and Placement
CEO's job developers excel at matching the skills, interests and abilities of program participants with specific needs of employers. Job developers create and sustain relationships with employers who are open to hiring CEO graduates. They know what those employers are looking for in a new hire and find the CEO participants that are the best fit for the job.

Once a week, participants who are job start ready come to see their job developer, dressed for interviews. The job developer either sends the enrollee to a scheduled interview or discusses job-searching strategies. Participants continue on transitional work crews until they find a permanent job.

CEO has placed participants with more than 300 public and private-sector employers, many of whom have become repeat hirers and referred other firms to CEO. In addition, past participants have helped identify openings in workplaces appropriate for current enrollees. Some have even become employers of CEO participants themselves.
