We know hiring can be a full-time job. We provide quality candidates to employers, decreasing the cost of advertising and recruiting, and the amount of time invested in finding the right person for the job.
Some of the employers we have partnered with have taken advantage of WORKING INTERVIEWS where a job ready candidate comes into the workplace to demonstrate their initial level of skill and ability to complete tasks expected. (Candidates are insured by SAIF and this service is of no cost to employers)
The Opportunity Club’s Employment specialists provide CONTINUOUS SUPPORT to employers. We build ongoing relationships with employers to ensure workplace employment satisfaction. Our job coaches can jump back in to help a candidate learn new skills, promote, or build upon existing skill level and problem solve.

We build upon a clients independence with work tasks through assessing and improving upon their skills with task analysis reviews which provide opportunities for innovative support and creative accommodations or alternative techniques to complete tasks successfully.
