Career Services Unit

Meaningful opportunities that support employment, education, and growth.

This unit focuses on helping Members build essential employment skills that support job readiness and long-term success. Activities include resume writing, job searching, interview preparation, and group discussions around workplace topics and experiences. Members also gain hands-on customer service and cash-handling experience by operating the Clubhouse Snack Bar. In addition, the unit manages Threshold’s social media platforms - creating content, sharing updates, and enhancing community outreach. Educational opportunities are also supported, including GED preparation and access to resources that help Members pursue academic or vocational goals. Through this combination of practical experience, skill development, and learning support, Members are better prepared to achieve their personal and professional aspirations.

Employment Program

Threshold’s Employment Program provides members with a structured pathway to meaningful, part-time competitive employment while building skills, confidence, and independence. Explore the opportunities below to learn more about the different ways Threshold supports members on their employment journey.

  • Threshold’s TE program provides employment opportunities for members seeking to enter or re-enter the workforce. Threshold manages these entry-level positions for employers. Staff train alongside members and provide support as needed. Members work in these part-time entry level positions for a period of 6-9 months whereupon a new member transitions into the position.

  • Threshold’s SE program assists members in securing and maintaining jobs with community businesses and employers. These positions can be career-oriented with opportunities for advancement. Threshold’s staff provide on-site, and off-site support as needed. SE jobs offer competitive wages. The level and duration of support vary based on individual needs and job requirements, with the goal of fostering long-term employment success and eventual independence.

  • The IE program supports members when they are ready, seeking and obtaining independent employment opportunities. The Clubhouse provides ongoing support and encouragement through its facilities or community-based resources for as long as members remain employed and desire assistance. There is no on-site support at the workplace.
