Direct Hire

Through our direct hire service, a business hires an individual that receives services through Connections. The individual will receive initial job coaching as needed. In time, the job coach will fade out, but Connections will continue with regular follow up including weekly to monthly site visits.

• Connections Placement Specialist will assist with finding a job by filling out applications, building a resume and sitting in on interviews
• Once an individual is hired, the Placement Specialist will assist with initial paperwork and attend his or her job training.
• The individual is paid by the business and follows all of the business's regulations, policies, and procedures.
• The Placement Specialist will job coach the individual at their new job until he or she is comfortable with working on their own.
• Transportation is not provided for this option. Connections will assist those who need training to ride the city bus and provide them with a route they can follow or assist with finding other transportation alternatives.
