Employers gain motivated employees and the respect of their community. That community becomes more integrated and gains productive, tax-paying citizens. And employees know they are valued and take pride in becoming a wage-earner, co-worker, and friend.
With funding from the Bureau of Rehabilitation Services (BRS), we provide:
Project Genesis helps its consumers explore their interests and develop the skills necessary to get and keep a job, including social and interviewing skills, timeliness and transportation, and work safety and policy compliance.
Students transitioning from high school to employment participate in specialized career exploration and work experience opportunities.
Our business partners gain motivated employees who value joining the workforce and come to work on time. They also gain respect in their community for supporting the rights of all individuals to work.
Our staff members provide full on-the-job training to the employee at no cost to the employer.
A working interview lasts 1 to 2 weeks and gives the consumer a chance to do the job while the employer assesses performance. During this period, a Project Genesis Job Coach helps with training and evaluations. The employer is not charged for the working interview or job coach supports.
Currently, a federal tax credit up to $2,400 is available to employers who hire one of our consumers.
Our Level Up services provide students with the tools, training, and resources they need to work competitively and forge their own path to independence. Working together, we build relationships between consumers, families, businesses, and the community.
Our collaborative efforts have demonstrated that each of us is able. We must simply be willing to see and to pursue our promise.
