Preparing Clients for the Work Environment, Supporting Workers and Employers

Employment Seminar

OpenDoors offers a full four-day Employment Program specifically designed for formerly incarcerated individuals which prepares them for finding and keeping sustainable employment. Our unique model combines both seminars, designed to teach best practices and skills in a group setting, and workshops, where individuals actively complete tasks to better prepare them for employment. Upon completion, participants have a full job search plan, a certificate of completion, and are familiar with the NetworkRI system, and other resources and services available to them.

OpenDoors offers an Advanced Employment Program for individuals who stand out as exceptional candidates for employment. These clients have been fully screened and assessed, and we'd be happy to provide you with information about any of these candidates. Upon completion of the program, they will have had hard and soft skills training, and work experience in a transitional job with a private employer. We would love to work with you to arrange for training that meets your workforce needs. For more information about this program contact Jesse Capece at x121.

Ongoing Case Management

Employment Services Coordinator Jesse Capece works with clients who have completed the basic program to address individual barriers along the road to finding a job and continue ongoing assessments. This ongoing case management continues throughout the job search, placement, and retention process.
 

Specialized Orientation Sessions

We hold special orientation and training sessions for clients who have risen above the rest and have gained our personal trust and confidence. These sessions are designed as needed based on the parameters identified by our employer partners to prepare individuals for specific job placement opportunities. Jesse Capece will work closely with you to design these training sessions, identify candidates that meet your specific needs, and make individual recommendations based on what is important to you.
